Shut your clam.

Stealing is bad enough, but from condemned waters?

Illegal clammers caught with 22K clams they took from N.J. river to sell at Brooklyn restaurant, cops say

The men were caught pulling the clams from the Millstone River in Somerset County, officials said.

That's not the first instance of that either. Several have been apprehended taking them out of waters near Millville years back, and selling them in Philadelphia. These are not the hard clams or littlenecks. I beleive they are the Asian clam, an established invasive species in fresh water.. Apparently they are sought after by Asians for food. To my knowledge no freshwater in NJ is tested for shellfish harvest...hence all such waters are condemned for the harvest of mollusks.
