Anyone have any pics of what a clam with a pinched mantle looks like??
Also the recommended cure is a pH and temp balanced fresh water dip, right?
Five minutes or so.........?

Ive never dipped a clam.
No photos personally but a Google images search for "pinched mantle" has some good examples.
As for treatment and diagnosis... I suggest visiting the forums on clamsdirect.com. They have been very helpful for me in the past.

I once found a link to a video with Barry from Clams direct on it. On there he had a picture of pinched mantle. Basically part of the clam doesn't extend the mantle all the way.
I have ZERO clam experience, but GOOD LUCK and keep us up to date!!
Does water always taste like salt and poo????
Rob,
Did you ever figure out if it was pinched mantle?
