A Goan relish.
Scenes from the fishing village of Siridona in Goa. Clams – called khubey in Konkani – are usually turned into a delicious xacuti stew and eaten with Goan pão.

Nice pics Rajanbab. BTW I believe Tisreos are smaller than Khubes. Am I right?
Great pictures!
One of my most treasured memories of Goa was harvesting the same, tishro’s, in the river bed at my Dad’s ancestral village of Colvale, 50 years ago. Today they are no clams there. None. Commercial harvesting of sand means that they cannot live or grow there anymore. The end.
