Fresh water clams are known as mussels, they are edible, but if
you harvest them your self, be sure that they are from clean sand
beds or you can become very very ill. With so much poluted water
around, I would be a bit cautious.

| How about their preparation? Same as sea clams?
I was swimming at this great lake up in North Conway, N.H. this
summer and the bootom was literally "littered" with them. It was
a sandy bottom and (not that it means the water is pure) the water
was as clear as glass. Talk about temptation. I am a seafood freak
from the word go. Love freshwater fish with a passion too (gimme
a hornpout anyday!)

| If these are the same as mussels. . .
I love to steam mussels in white wine and garlic.
I've seen mussels cooked the same way you cook clams all the time.

| we would set them on the embers of the campfire and when the tops
burst open we'd slip in a little butter, salt and pepper. They were
delicious! Of course that was back in 1959, haven't had them that
way since.

| Fresh water clams should not be confused with mussels. Mussels are
strictly a salt water shellfish that cling to just about any solid
surface submerged in salt water i.e. pilings, oil rigs, etc.
