    Can't find a sushi place with mirugai (giant clam) on the menu.

    Try the Find-a-Food feature on chicago.menupages.com. It's quite useful, and yielded about 7 results for this item.

    Good luck!!

    Mirugai from the Geoduck clam has continued to rise in cost. Mitsuwa sells it cleaned for about $60/#.
    Whole they go for over $60/per in the Midwest if you can get one and you have to know how to clean and prep to get the maximum value from your clam.
    The relative numbers of Sushi bars has increased greatly and I have found even places such as Kuni's do not have all the usual toppings all the time.-Dick

    Not a single Geoduck today in Chinatown. the only place that I have ever been able to get them is China Mart. Had to settle for surf clam at $2.99 a piece at Chicago Food Mart. Place (Chicago Food Mart) also had scallops in the shell, OK for cooking but not for sashimi. Surf clam very nice and alive. Cleaned, foot split and briefly blanched (redundant?). Rest of body and muscles will be used in a Thai seafood soup tonight.
    Purchased 5# lobster at China Mart also today at $7.99/#. Hmart has small lobsters at $5.99 but their is just something about a big lobster!
    Never had a problem with a lobster from Chinatown Market.-Dick
