A particularly aggressive crab species from the western Atlantic is threatening Italy's role as one of the world's top producers of clams - as well as, potentially, one of its signature pasta dishes.

    Why can’t we just eat it? Isn’t crab meat a delicacy?

    It is also home to “spaghetti alle vongole” (spaghetti with clams), a classic of Italian cuisine.

    Also it’s certainly better than spaghetti with fucking sand, clam shells and clam meat full of literal shit in them. I’m Italian and can’t understand who would possibly like that?!
