H eads up on orange crocea clams

[swsaltwater]

Just a heads up, got a list for orange crocea clams recently that came in brown along with my normal blue, greens, and purples, The state side contact is top notch and I have used him many times, but i guess the supplier on the veitnam side is color blind or a scammer that lied to him. I can see the vietnam farms trying to pass em off on everyone. If I could see a tinge of burnt sienna I might see how they get orange, just plain old brown speckle so far....... Maybe a few days under my lights and some nuclear waste might change the color.

btw, the shipper rocks he already took the orange clams and related charges off the invoice. Typhoon delayed em and 50% were DOA anyhow.

 

[HELLYEAH]

i got those same orange croceas yesterday. made a good meal for me and my family. no way i could sell those. very made at my buudy in vietnam. i think in vietnam orange means brown and hustle means burn your bridge.

ahh yeah vietnam blues, green, purps, maxima, and squmosa usually have 100% survival for me. This is my only negative experience to date.
