In addition to killing the mobs listed that drop the Meat, you can loot underwater clams that are in the area. There are 34-35 mobs in the area that you'll probably have to kill to be able to loot the underwater clams.

There are also a number of water logged chests if you're a rogue looking to level up your lock picking skill. Becuase of swimspeed this becomes a slow quest.

This quest is also very near http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=6143 for the Horde, so you might just want to hit them at the same time.

Watch out for the crawlers on the ocean floor. They won't aggro on you (unless you attack them), but they will destroy the giant clams you need to open in order to get the meat. They run fast once they've zeroed in on a clam, so attack them before they get near it.

The ship is at 33,33

Also watch out for the Deepstrider Giant (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=4686) who might be passing by when you're collecting the clams

Just use unending breath if youre a warlock=) easy!

Comment by Gungorr

There is also a bubbly fissure near the boat at 33, 31, if your not a warlock, and if you don't feel like swimming back up.

Comment by Nappa

As a side note, there is nothing special about this boat. I just swam long the western shore from the docks to the boat. By the time I got to the boat I had collected all the clams that I needed.

Comment by Nightsurfa

Easier way to get the 10 clams is head to 25,48 along the coast from the docks. Your see a clam and a few mobs, one is close to the clam so take him out. Then just farm that single clam, it respawns approximately every 2 min.

Shipwreck is at 32.9,32.9

Comment by Cromiale

Just as the guy said about the coords: 25,48, I'd highly recommend doing that method.

At 25,48 you have one clam and at 24,44 you have another. They're very close together and with a respawn rate of 2 minutes (seems like it's less), this is quite considerably one of the fastest ways to get the quest done.

Comment by PaladinBron

I found the ship at 33;33

Bubbles can be found just north of the ship and at 25;38

Bait was found at 25;47 23;40 24,43 29;36 and at local wildlife in the area.

Comment by Lillfot

This quest is retarded.
The Enraged Reef Crawlers around this area at first glance appear to be completely harmless, being "yellow", AKA Netral/Non-hostile.
WRONG.
Those little bastards scuttle around, and whenever they come inside thirty-odd yards from one of the Soft-shelled Clams lying around the bottom of the ocean, they haul ass over to it and destroy it.
Unless you happen to have Aquatic Form or a metric %^&*-ton of Swim Speed Potions and an Elixir of Water Breathing, do your blood pressure a favor and skip this quest.

Comment by Jemcrystal

If the quest shows as incomplete but the clams stopped sparkling, remember to open the shells up in your inventory. I keep forgetting every time I do this quest. :D

Comment by amour

I found them in this location.

3dots. the middle dot is where the sunken ship is
the top dot to the bottom dot: between those are where you can find the clams

Comment by hc00jw

Do together with;

Both;

Claim Rackmore's Treasure!
Book of the Ancients

Horde;

Other Fish to Fry
The Corrupter
Clam Bait

Alliance;

The Karnitol Shipwreck

Some of those have preqs, so make sure you have all quests mentioned above to avoid revisiting the area unnecessarily! :)

Comment by Aletelle

A quick tip - you have to open the clams you collect. You need the meat inside, not the clams themselves.

For any shaman doing this, here was my strategy. Before I left Shadowprey Village, I put up Water Walking and mounted up. I watched the the ocean floor as I went, and when I spotted my first clam, I cast Water Breathing and dived under to get it. I had almost no trouble with the aggressive mobs, nor with the crawlers, as there are plenty of clams on the way north. If your Water Walking or Breathing wears out, just recast and keep going. If you're doing this quest with Other Fish to Fry, the naga drop the reagents for both Water Walking and Water Breathing, so you can replenish your stores at the same time.

Comment by twilightdawn

Post Shattering, you can pick up the clams while in the naga disguise from the Ethel Rethor quest chain. There are lots of clams around the naga island (Slitherblade Shore), and the increased swim speed + not worrying about naga attacks saves a lot of time.

Comment by snelton

for some reason, this quest is not available to me as a level 43 blood elf protection paladin. i already did Shadowprey Village and Blubbergut.

Comment by Mafiia

hmm as a 85 Death knight i could not start this quest. when I swim towards the clams they just phase out.

Comment by Maldonai

I'm grinding Darkspear rep, so I'd like to do this quest. As best I can tell Mai'lahii starts the quest as well as finishing it, but it's not available to me (lvl 35 Troll Druid). I did get the "Blubbergut" quest from her, and I've completed it. Is there another pre-req, or a different quest-giver to start it?

Comment by weezact7

I'm pretty sure that as of Cataclysm, this quest does not exist. I just ran my rogue through Desolace and couldn't find this quest.
