McDonald's Happy Meal web site confirms that the October 2015 kids' meal theme will be based on the current film Hotel Transylvania 2 (not The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was released back in in 1993).
There are differences in the shell textures of oysters and clams. The shell of a clam is smooth and shiny while an oyster has a rough outer shell. Both the organisms take in water through the shells but the filtering procedure is different. Oysters produce pearls which are in much demand but clams do not.
They are excellent for recipes that want to accentuate the clam flavor. The ocean quahog is also known as a mahogany clam, mahogany quahog, black quahog and black clam. The ocean quahog is a slower growing clam that matures in twenty to forty years. Some may live as long as 200 years. Commercially packed clams are generally 40 to 100 years old. The vessels used to harvest these sea clams range in size from about 60 feet to 160 feet in length.The ocean quahogâs primary beds are found twenty to thirty miles offshore in depths from 100 to 240 feet.
