The clams were probably irradiated near the Marshall Islands or the Bikini Atoll and became freakishly large. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3620260864/tt0048215" target="_blank">It Came from Beneath the Sea</a>They must really scrub them to get the fishy smell out. I don't like slimy raw clams (only cooked for when I make spaghetti and clam sauce), so I doubt if I'd like a clam shell case. I do like the Zeiss Cordura cases for their toughness and durability, and they don't smell of fish (though the Terra's case has a faint aroma of General Tso's chicken). It's a practical case that you can take into the field with you rather than just using it to store the bins in the house. It also shows that not everything made in China is crap (just most stuff). </blockquote>
