Sea Survival
THE OPEN SEA
Mollusks
16-124. Mussels, limpets, clams, sea snails, octopuses, squids, and sea slugs are all edible. Shellfish will usually supply most of the protein eaten by coastal survivors. Avoid the blue-ringed octopus and cone shells (described in Chapter 11 and Appendix F). Also, beware of "red tides" that make mollusks poisonous. Apply the edibility test on each species before eating.
