It makes me wonder, how did you know? My friend Nick also mentioned that it’s a razor clam, but he’s from PEI so has first-hand experience with finding them when digging for other clams.

Is that "tofu flower" tofu fa, I'm guessing? Yes those are mousses. And I've never seen feng zhao (sp?) and pai gwut (ditto?) mixed together before. Interesting... ::sigh:: I'm totally jonesing for some mein now, thanks a lot! Yup those are razor clams, just saw someone use them on a cooking show.… Is that “tofu flower” tofu fa, I’m guessing?
