@@VampireSultana There's really no telling how old it was, research would be the way to find out but I guess someone was hungry.

i have seen this species of shells in the Red Sea, locals call them purple shells ,due to their purple color , given time to grow they can reach huge sizes , sometimes over 2 meters long! didn't know they were edible though!!! and the chef must be really good to know his way through that creature's anatomy !!!
yes! that is if given the chance to live long enough to grow to that size! water pollution and temperature and human invasion of nature plays a great role
yes , you are right , the big ones i've seen were so embedded within the corals as if they had grown streight from it , the were probably very old and were so vivedly purple !!! red sea beduins catch and eat te smaller ones , like the one in the vedio
I have to say that the care taken in preparing the food is almost a reverence to the clam itself, and how they work out what is good to eat and what to discard must be gained from experience.
I have no idea why I watched this but it's fascinating. My mother the nurse told us never to eat raw meat and I never have, but some of this looks tasty. So many flavors in one dish.
I feel like a lot of people in the comments don't quite realize that seafood is like a really big thing in Japan and has been for like most of its history... I totally get the sentiment of loss because it was a grand animal, but by the time this was filmed the clam was already destined to die. And while watching this, you can see the animal get dissected thoroughly. For my uni course, we had to study marine animals and this breakdown showed all the major parts of the clam which was pretty great. And unlike the specimen showed at my university, it can actually be consumed which isn't bad.
hun the problem is not that he eat the clam but the fact that all creatures living on him did not had to die..he did took out the tiny crab (sry idk the real name) however there were more living creatures that could be saved before eating the clam ..knowing our ocean,sea and all creatures already have lot of problems surviving we need to be aware and careful to save as much possible

I will never tell someone what they should and shouldn't eat. For me, I wouldn't eat something like this. It's just too beautiful to me. I guess we all have our opinions. Some things in this world are just not meant to be eaten.
Well, it’s because you don’t live like we do surrounded by ocean. When you’re a Japanese kid you would eat clam miso soup at the age of 3, at the latest around 4 or 5 and by a first grader your Japanese dad would take you to a nice beach or some remote beautiful island in summer and go fishing with you early morning. And when you come back to a lodge for dinner after snorkeling all day, you either eat fish you caught or order all kinds of seafood at the lodge including Japanese lobsters to shrimp to squid to fish of all kinds. This clam is just one thing (and we don’t eat this normally this big) but there will be 50 different kinds of seafood of all kinds. No meat. No wheat products. Normally we eat a bowl of rice, miso soup and seafood of all kinds prepared in varieties of ways and side dishes. And you go to sleep with sound of waves of ocean in the background. No Japanese who grew up in Japan would understand anyone would ever crave a burger and fries like some Americans. I also don’t understand the craving of steaks like some Americans I know of. I crave a bowl of rice or a bowl of miso soup not a steak when I am abroad.
"Beautiful" isn't the word that came to mind when I saw the thumbnail of this video. But, sure...I wouldn't eat this because of my uhh...umm...moral principles. But mostly because just looking at it made me want to hurl, much less eating it.
Absolutely true. In this day and age we no longer need to kill everything that moves in order to survive. The primitive days are long gone.

No. No one did that because this is in no way a coral which has nothing good to eat on it at all, but rather a bivalve which is a group of molluscs that includes clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and various others. 90 percent of bivalves just so happen to be very tasty, and whoever discovered that first was a genius. I wish i was that guy.
@@melissabrenton4419 i wouldn't be surprised if i was related to them haha no matter how much i love animals my first thought is always "hmmmm i wonder if i could eat you"
It is not much different looking than when you slaughter an animal for food. Humans probably saw this and thought "yay we dont have to cut it open and drain it's blood"
It amazes me that us humans just have to eat everything. I mean who looks at a clam and say "this looks tasty"? Such beauty just wasted and eaten. People amaze me with what they find and eat
I think sometimes seeing animals in its original state and doing food preparation shocks the system. We become forced to the reality of how animal we really are. The grocery stores and pre-package foods have disillusioned us.
@RxY Sure, everyone knows that. But a lot of people never kill and butcher their own meat. Buying prepackaged meat, or prepared foods sterilizes the whole process. It's just meat, rather than a living animal.
Oh my stars! It was so teensy! And the li'l shrimp! That clam was a whole li'l ecosystem in itself. What amazing handiwork of nature we have on this earth to learn about and enjoy!
And then to learn which part is poison and which can be eaten... And then which part is its poop filled intestines and which not. And how to remove god knows what parasites. And then what condiments to cook it with
what's the concern? what skill? this mollusk lived a long life, fought for its existence. but they killed him and devoured him, as if there were no other food!
@@SvetlanaRomanovna yea that's how food works, you kill it then you eat it. There are also ways to handle a dead body which require art and craftsmanship. Death is part of life

ah yes, street food, creates the most beautiful looking dish out of a clam possible
tiny shrimp is cute

I saw it to hahahahahaha 😂😂😂
That is a whole mini ecosystem being destroyed. That clam must have been very old.
who cares...
who cares...
Logic, you prefer eating clams that arent old enough to be eaten but not old clams.
I feeling the same
John Demise nobody said that.
Preparation of food is amazing..clams and shellfish is really delicious. Thanks for sharing...
*so you’re telling me that someone dove into the ocean one day and decided to eat a giant coral?*
Aparitly, lol
I thought the same thing! Like who thought “I wanna taste that!”?
No. No one did that because this is in no way a coral which has nothing good to eat on it at all,
but rather a bivalve which is a group of molluscs that includes clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and various others.
90 percent of bivalves just so happen to be very tasty, and whoever discovered that first was a genius. I wish i was that guy.
@@reubenc0039 I’m glad that people enjoy them, I’m just thinking of the very first person that thought 💭 “I wonder if I can eat that?”
@@melissabrenton4419 i wouldn't be surprised if i was related to them haha no matter how much i love animals my first thought is always "hmmmm i wonder if i could eat you"
It’s amazing that some humans look at this and think... I’d like to eat that lol
Why not? People who don’t like this are either allergic to seafood or have trash tastes, like all vegans.
Right! I can just imagine...
*"Look at this strange organism. Let's eat it!"*
i was hunting for someone in this commemt section that hasnt lost their mind. i was screaming ew the whole time!
It is not much different looking than when you slaughter an animal for food. Humans probably saw this and thought "yay we dont have to cut it open and drain it's blood"
@@johnbu9098 You have it backwards whoever likes seafood has bad taste in food
Why do I enjoy watching these
Same
Maybe you're hungry
It amazes me that us humans just have to eat everything. I mean who looks at a clam and say "this looks tasty"? Such beauty just wasted and eaten. People amaze me with what they find and eat
And then they wonder why they get sick... I can't understand it either, I mean what's wrong with eating FOOD?
I think sometimes seeing animals in its original state and doing food preparation shocks the system. We become forced to the reality of how animal we really are. The grocery stores and pre-package foods have disillusioned us.
Yes and the eco propoganda in the medias make people see a crime in an ordinary everyday act.
Sorry but how does it dellute us everybody knows that chicken or pig doesnt grow on trees
I purposely look these up...
@RxY Sure, everyone knows that. But a lot of people never kill and butcher their own meat. Buying prepackaged meat, or prepared foods sterilizes the whole process. It's just meat, rather than a living animal.
classy137 So true!
aliens would come in peace and we’d eat them
Jon you managed to turn a lighthearted comment into something racist :/
Usually, it was the opposite.
A T you mean the Japanese would
Aaron Turner and probably the french :p
Marcus D don’t be so sensitive... people always overreact. Come on!
Even Japanese people eat in Okinawa and most Japanese have never eaten. I would like to try it once.
Lol is this supposed to be sarcasm?

It has some much life living on it is so cool. It looks like a giant booger. I wish you could have left it in the ocean.
To that clam's ecosystem, the customer is GALACTUS...
0:32 that’s one cute crab
Oh my stars! It was so teensy! And the li'l shrimp! That clam was a whole li'l ecosystem in itself. What amazing handiwork of nature we have on this earth to learn about and enjoy!
Other country:Wheres the alien
Japan:??intestine
that clam was an entire planet with an ecosystem on it
Who thought of eating that?
"Ooo, a spiky rock thing, let's cut it open and eat it."
And then we question who thought it was a good idea to eat lobster
Only in Jamaica...
@@trollverse171 or eggs
Not all heroes wear capes... someone had to be the Guinea Pig. It would be a cool series tho. How "Food" Became A Word
And then to learn which part is poison and which can be eaten... And then which part is its poop filled intestines and which not. And how to remove god knows what parasites. And then what condiments to cook it with
The shell has such a diverse ecosystem its almost like someone destroyed their earth for lunch.
But that’s what gods do to planets on a cosmic level.. how is this any different?
@@ricprado3581 Это хорошо ты повара с богом сравнил
It would be funny if a small water bug lived on the surface of that clam, and the crevice was viewed as being like a fault line or a volcano.
the butcher must have aced all of his seashell anatomy exams
My daughter said"This is somebody's coronavirus" 😂😂😂😂
É muito lindo o capricho que fazem mas eu não comeria 👏👏
She protecc

But most importanly...
The japanese think thats a snacc
If its consumable actually it is.
@@igorabreu2614 ??
Not just the japanese. America does too. Id cover that clam in tobasco and it be supper.
@@brandona4618 oh well😅
Reviews. No u
I don't think I'd eat that myself, but I can certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and care used handling the clam.
Заботу и мастерство !!!??? Ты серьезно ?🤤🤤🤤!!!!! Его просто убили 😡😡
i sometimes think about the degree of starvation that would make me look at stuff like this and go, slurp
what's the concern? what skill? this mollusk lived a long life, fought for its existence. but they killed him and devoured him, as if there were no other food!
@@SvetlanaRomanovna well didn't fight hard enough
@@SvetlanaRomanovna yea that's how food works, you kill it then you eat it. There are also ways to handle a dead body which require art and craftsmanship. Death is part of life
To the person reading this. May success, peace and happiness be with you.💛
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching the artful preparation. I am going to prepare some fish with lemon cream sauce for my wife this evening but now I am wishing I had clams..
good luck
you can eat clam for 75% of each month for free
Really interesting watch. I enjoy seeing how these types of foods are prepared and need copious amounts of time and energy to be made. Kudos!
They are not foods they are animals
living beings we turned into food
@@capetamenino hi! I’ve since become a vegetarian lol don’t have to tell me twice xx
@@mariajoseleiva8620 😂
I have a feeling they look at anything in the ocean and say "We can definitely eat this!"
thechopperCrx it's true :P
thechopperCrx The only fish that CANNOT get eaten is the ceolocanth. It's meat is filled with greasy fats that cannot be digestible. Otherwise eat it and you dead
thechopperCrx I grew up in a fish town in Portugal and we're exactly the same. That's why we like the Japanese so much and vice versa.
thechopperCrx I know right sheesh they think if it moves its fair game lol 😂
Ya thx to asians we dont have any sea creatures left
Beautifully Prepared!! You are an True Artist!!!💙💗❤️
Little shrimp :Yeah I'm saved
5 seconds later :Heck
That’s a crawfish lol
lol
I thought some shrimps had claws too
Imagine cutting open your food and finding more food inside it.
Roshell Ros some do but the ones that do have praying mantis like claws
Okay that will be $1200
Along with the low cost of a human soul
and with a little spice of naive and ignorance
Worth it
Oh my god...imagine the 10% tip!!!
@@raxxit18 Actually there is no tipping culture in Japan :))
I wonder how long the clam lived before harvested
500 years old with 20 doctorate degrees
Hope.it wasn't doctorate in Sociology, History or some BS.
STEM doctorate anytime
My husband said it was probably 100s of year's old and he just dissected it. Wow! No way would I eat it. I don't think I know anyone that would.
@Shitstorm Trooper No I really don't know many Asian's. I'm just happy I don't have to eat anything like this, I would starve first.
Kinda sad thinking about its age and its harvested for so little food
Japanese cuisine carefully prepares and beautifully arranges even grotesque ingredients.
starts video: "Such a beautiful creature"
Mid Way through: "Thats fucking disgusting"
End of video: "I gotta watch another one"
I honestly felt bad for this one cuz there were so many other forms of life on it and to let all of that go to waste for that lil thing is jst not worth it.
