0No, mussels have longer and darker color shells. The meat is chewier and texture is rougher. On the other hand, clam shells are in sand color and rounder.

0 They are not synonymous. The clams that have been on my plate have always been smaller than the mussels. I like steamed mussels, but I prefer breaded, deep-fried clams! Yum! As far as I know, only clams are ever used, not mussels, in a delicious soup called New England Clam Chowder. Yum!02br

0 "breaded" - the clams have been rolled in beaten egg and breadcrumbs before being deep-fried. Gives them a nice crisp coating.02br
