See text The pod razor (Ensis siliqua) is a coastal bivalve of European waters.

It is edible and has been fished commercially, especially in Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Scotland.

[4] The valves of the shell are elongated and reach a length of up to twenty-one centimetres (8.3 in).

The color is creamy white, sometimes with brownish stripes, and the periostracum is olive green.

[5] It has a very large foot and is capable of burrowing in the fine, hard-packed muddy sediments that it favours.
