Flexopecten glaber, Linnaeus 1758


To be true this is a humble species and well known from fish markets all over Italy and the mediterranean coast of Spain where it is a valued seafood, but personally I can never resist colour and these pieces on the picture are super selected canary yellow and flawless beauties. They come from near the small islets opposite the Venetian Lagoon where they thrive in the nutrient rich soop provided by the estuary on muddy ground. I cleaned them personally and their colour, really astonishing and you might well think schockingly brilliant indeed, is genuine and natural.
