It's a clam. There isn't much to say but that it has meat inside. If you're a jewelcrafter, then you're going to want to go after the pearls that sometimes are contained. In this case, go somewhere you know clams are not left behind. Ex: A murloc camp.

Now stacks in 20's (at last)

these things used to clutter up bagspace so much, so glad they made them stack

I personally have 2 favorite spots for this in Azeroth.

The murlocs in Silverpine forest (right behind Undercity).

The Naga in Ashenvale. You can find them along the Zoram Strand.

Map Tip: You can click on the maps to change their size.

Farming the Clam Meat that drops from the mobs above can prove to be very beneficial, not only for your personal cooking, but for making a decent income as well.
In my personal experience I could sell a stack of 10 for 4-6 gold. Not too bad, especially if you have a higher level character that can burn through the mobs quickly.

Absolutely the best place to farm for small barnacled clam is in WESTFALL, at "Longshore" (west side). The murlocs there have an 50% drop rate.

I usually like farming my clams from the murlocs in Ghostlands, I'm not sure why, but I always used to go "Clam Hunting" for giggles, this was when clams didn't stack, now that they do, i'll probably be farming them much more.. (I know, they have been able to stack for awhile..)

Contains Clam Meat which stacks up to 20 and is used by 2 cooking recipes:
#1 is Boiled Clams (taught by any Cooking Trainer) - learned at skill level 50; turns green @110
#2 is Clam Chowder (taught by an Alliance only recipe) - learned at skill level 90; turns green @150

1x Boiled Clams = 1x Clam Meat + 1x Refreshing Spring Water
1x Clam Chowder = 1x Clam Meat + 1x Ice Cold Milk

The clams are easy to get at the troll starting zone from the nagas there. There is also a mail box so you can create a new char, farm some of these and directly send them to one of your twinks for leveling cooking.

An amazing place to farm these as a Horde character is the new island north of where trolls now spawn.
(Spitescale Siren and Spitescale Wavethrasher) I went there and I would guesstimate I was getting 5 clams every 6 naga, and some naga inside the cave would spawn literally fast enough that by the time I turned the corner they would be back, not to mention right out side the cave there is a huge amount in a small space so using thunder clap or any aoe spell would kill at least 4 or 5 at once, a really great way to farm clam meat.
I would also like to mention, after farming 60 of these clams I had found 4 small lustrous pearls..

Post-Shattering, these don't seem to drop as regularly from the Zoram Strand naga as they used to (probably since they've had cloth added to their loot tables). Any of the naga and murlocs in Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isles still drop them on a regular basis, so I'd recommend that for any Alliance looking to farm them.

Confirmed, spitescale cavern is currently the best place to farm. Extremely fast respawn even when destroying the place as an 85 plate-wearer. The clam drop rate is still very high but unfortunately the pearl drop rate is not. But if you're going to grind it it's the best way to go. In 30 minutes of farming I got 110 clams which ended up giving me 8 of the pearls.

Those of you who are map unaware such as myself.
Spitescale Cavern is located on the northern-most island on Echo Island. (To the left of Durotar).
It's recommended. not to go there as alliance, because there is a level 90 troll elite guarding the cave.
The drop rate for the clams are amazing, I was getting about 2-3 every 5 guys I killed. (The mob level is 4-5, not too much of a threat! :] )
If you do go as alliance, be very careful entering, you may have to graveyard jump, (so fly in naked to avoid a bill).
Whilst killing them be careful of the entrance!

A link of me simply opening 1000 Small Barnacled Clam

I got

1000 Clam Meat
60 Small Lustrous Pearl

Comment by Raivyn79

As others mentioned, Spitescale Cove (northern Echo Isles) is a great place for this. I just headed out there and did a 10 minute round. My loot was as follows:

35x small barnacled clam (35x clam meat + 3x small lustrous pearl)
3x raw slitherskin mackerel
1 small red pouch

I killed the attacking naga outside and cleared the cave twice; both spots respawned in the aforementioned time frame. The drop rate is pretty good, probably about 8 out of 10 nagas killed would drop one.

The coords are 62, 26 for those who wish to know. There is a level 95 elite troll standing in the cave entrance, but if you stick to the spot where the shore meets the bridge and range pull/kill the outside naga, you could probably come here as a smaller Alliance without getting a two-toed foot to the head.

If the Echo Isles spot isn't an option for your Alliance toon, murlocs and naga in southern Darkshore and Bloodmyst are the next best thing. In Darkshore, Remtravel's Excavation and Nazj'vel have decent respawns and drop rates, mainly the Greymist Oracle.

Posting here as a comment as the Wowhead Looter either does not record these containers correctly or something is wrong with how the uploads for this container work.
