<span class="mu-i">Mussels, Fresh</span>:The bivalve with the blue, oblong-crescent-shaped shell. The ones for sale are being kept in salt-water. It is unclear how many of them are still alive. In her youth, Chlotsuintha once had a really delicious meal of mussels with her father at some public house - long before she came to live on the Mount. She has no idea how the meal was prepared, but she has always wanted to try to recreate it. Out of salt-water, a living mussel will survive 1 day, and remain edible until 1 day after its death. 1 Eighth-Talent for 3 to 6 Mussels. About 40 Mussels for sale.
<span class="mu-i">Clams, Fresh</span>: The bivalve with the tan, flat-lipped shell. The ones for sale are being kept in salt-water. It is unclear how many of them are still alive. Chlotsuintha has been eating quite a bit of chowder these past eight years, as it is the only regular free meal offered in the Midden to the Lepers that contains any meat at all. Instead of growing sick of it, she has developed a taste for it, and she wonders if she can do any better. Out of salt-water, a living clam will survive 1 day, and remain edible until 1 day after its death. 1 Eighth-Talent for 2 to 5 Clams. About 30 Clams for sale.
<span class="mu-i">Oysters, Fresh</span>: The bivalve with the tan, wave-lipped shell. The ones for sale are being kept in salt-water. It is unclear how many of them are still alive. Chlotsuintha has never had Oyster before, but considering that she likes Mussels and Clams she is more than willing to try this bivalve as well ... and she is also keen to see if she can find a pearl or two! Out of salt-water, a living Oyster will survive 1 day, and remain edible until 1 day after its death. 1 Eighth-Talent for 1 to 4 Oysters. About 20 Oysters for sale.
<span class="mu-i">Little Whelk, Fresh</span>: The sea-snail with the brown, whorled shell. The ones for sale are being kept in salt water. It is unclear how many of them are still alive. Chlotsuintha knows that Whelk can accumulate rather significant amounts of mule-Arsenic, and it occurs to her that she might be possible to convert the Arsenic into a more 'productive' state using the Life-Loom ... somehow. Or she could just eat them as is. Outside of salt-water, a living Whelk will survive 1 day, and remain edible until 1 day after its death. 1 Eighth-Talent for 6 to 12 Little Whelk. About 100 Little Whelk for sale. 1 Little Whelk-foot on average weighs about 2 ounces, and so carries 0.000008 ounces of mule-Arsenic. In a more 'productive' form, this is exactly the upper bound of a fatal dose - and nearly three times the lower bound!
