Can be farmed from lvl28-30 Bluegills in western Wetlands, also a great drop rate outside Southshore in the Western Strand (46,64 thru 24,65). Blackfathom deeps is a good place for the instance farmers.

If you need this for cooking for example, you really need to hunt them at Southshore.
The Tornfin thingies drop them pretty much every kill!

I've found these in Wetlands in Giant Clams underwater near the murlocs south of Menethil Harbor. I've also fished them out of Sagefish pools in the river along Hillsbrad. Farming and fishing are much easier than having to fight for them.

But if you have to fight, I suggest doing the quest for the Turtle Bisque. You get another recipe as well as getting Giant Clams from the turtles along the same Hillsbrad river.

Southshore no doubt. Went there for like 10 minutes farmed 16 pieces by only heading north didn't kill on the way back.

I would say 7 out of 10 mobs drop these and they also drop 1 silver or more so for low lvls it's not even a bad place

If you are high level BFD is the best place with high drop rate from Nagas, Murlocs and Calms it self. While you farm you can also get Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish which will help you with pre skill at cooking, if you dont need them try to put them in AH.

For those of you who are, like me, trying to get from 150-175 cooking, I found that killing the turtles in Hillsbrad to be the best bet for me. I tried killing the nagas down near Southshore per the suggestions here, but I found the drop rate for the clams to be slightly less, and they don't drop turtle meat. I also tried BFD, but as a 72 priest, the amount of time it takes to kill the mobs and drink isn't worth the extra drop rate--of course, high level melee classes would probably find this to be more effective.

The turtles up and down the river in Hillsbrad drop the tangy clam meat, turtle meat, and sometimes raw bristle whisker catfish. The clam meat and catfish will help you get to 175, and then you can use the turtle meat from there. Just the option I took :)

From one run starting at Southshore up the river to Western Plaguelands, I got:
Turtle Meat x 42
Tangy Meat x 19
Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish x 6

Gonna have to agree the naga's south of Southshore are the best place I've found to farm Tangy Calm Meat, in about a half hour of walking up and down the shore I ended up with 30+ pieces of meat.

Here is a tip. I am right now doing the quest for Soothing Turtle Bisque. I decided to farm the Snapjaws along the Alterac Mountains side of Lordamere Lake. So far these have been far more consistant for Thick-shelled Clam drops than the Murlocs or Nagas in Hillsbrad Foothills, and they drop Turtle Meat consistently as well. This has been my experience anyways, so I would recommend taking this route for farming these two items...

Edit: Just wanted to update with my take. I only did from the Dalaran Crater end to the Vishas house, and only the Turtles near enough to the edge of the water to grab without swimming. I ended up with 54 Turtle Meat, 14 Thick-shelled Clam, and 30 Medium Leather. If you were to farm the entire lakeside you could easily double those numbers.

It seems that with the 3.1 patch or so, farming the beach along southshore for Tangy Clam Meat(TCM) isn't worth the work.
67 Undead DK, I went to southshore and walked up and down, and up and down the beach to only make 11 TCM. Perfect place to farm Fish Oil and Shiny Fish Scales but a craptastic place to try farming for Tangy Clam Meat. I averaged the drop rate to something along the line of 1tcm to 7-8 Daggerspine.
I also used my Death Grip to snag the Daggerspine that were swimming off-land incase that rate was a little higher... but no.

Also gave BFD a try and the drop rate was a little better but not by much.

Comentado por corvis9

If you're farming BFD for DE stuff you might be tempted to delete or not pick up all the tangy clam meat you'll run across. On a low population server I've AH'd them at 10 for 5G. Easily worth more than the gray junk you might keep to fill out your bags and recoup repair costs for repeated runs. Pity they don't stack to 20 tho.

I suppose that might just be a result of new DK's trying to level their cooking quickly, it might drop after a while.

Going to try killing the Nagas outside the instance. If the drop rates are bad, I will head inside the instance.
If anyone has tried to go to STV near Grom'Gol, that's a waste of time. I opened 25 clams, and only got Blue Pearl
andGiant Clam Meat

Happy farming!

Comentado por 263921

tangy clam meat is in "Thick-shelled clams" as well you can get them from many different mobs

Comentado por 322186

WoWhead is showing this as dropping from Giant Clams in Stranglethorn. I think this is incorrect, I've had NO drops of tangy clam meat off of them. I think it may have been confused with giant clam meat.

Comentado por snowboyak08

THE best place to farm these is to kill the murlocs in Hillsbrad Foothills near Southshore, or go into Blackfathom Deeps and kill all the naga and murlocs in there for the thick-shelled clams, they drop these. I seriously doubt the giant clams in STV and anywhere else that contains giant clams drop these.

Comentado por 384158

The Torn Fin murlocs are a very good source of the shells that produce Tangy Clam Meat.

On one pass from Southshore towards the mine through Western Strand, I came out with 33 pieces, one lustrous pearl, five Enchant Gloves - Fishing formula, and four greens level 24 - 26.

One pass took about 20 minutes with my level 47 mage.

Was able to skill up from 156 Cooking to 180 while I was typing this.

Comentado por 482362

Agreed on Torn Fin Murlocs.
Started from Southshore FP all the way to Azurelode Mine and back.
53 Clams
A few greens and 2 Fishing Enchants.

Cant go wrong.

Comentado por Trinket90

Confirmed--Murloc run is fantastic. I went down and back in 25 minutes with my 80 paladin. 59 clams, yielded 59 meat and two pearls. I grabbed the murlocs in the water near the shore but didn't go far (i hate swimming!). The looting is freaking annoying but other than that you can't beat it!

Comentado por 100086

Does anybody know why these are worth so much? I litterally sell each one for 2 gold on my server that seems like a lot for such an easy item to farm

Comentado por 161527

I'm so glad that WoWHead was able to so quickly and efficiently fix the information that they pass on here to update what actually drops in the Giant Clams that they state drop Tangy Clam Meat, when in fact they drop, Giant Clam Meat. It only took me a couple of hours to farm over 40 Blue Pearls and almost a 20 stack of what I later realized was Giant Clam Meat, rather than, Tangy Clam Meat. Now I can go farming all over again for the correct mat to level my cooking with. I mean, its only been HOW many YEARS since the game came out and how many YEARS since WoWHead came into existence?

Down in southsore , you may want to look around before looting the corpses cuz,its teeming with players of opposite facion doing exactly the same thing

Following the advice of many for Tangy Clam Meat, I went to Southshore in the Eastern Kingdoms in search of these tender little morsels. I ran the beach from east to west once, killing Torn Fin Murlocs exclusively, and was rewarded with enough Tangy Clam Meat to take my cooking skill from 150 - 177. A few perks were low level green items to DE for Soul Dust and Greater Astral Essence, as well as a couple of chest/mob/clam drops for: Gold Bar x2, Jade, Iridescent Pearl x4, and Small Lustrous Pearl x4.

The Soothing Turtle Bisque recipe/quest from the Southshore Inn is worth completing, since it takes about 5 minutes to farm the required amount of turtle meat in a reasonably close area (pick up about 25 extra for leveling your skill after, while you're on the quest). The bisque recipe was good enough to level my cooking to 210!

I didn't see a single horde while I was farming these items and it only took me about 15 minutes to do. So, so worth it!

Thanks for the advice everyone... spot on, as far as i'm concerned!

Comentado por Alemira

Southshore is really good for this :) I get 10-15 clams when I do the full run!

Comentado por 707779

I am a lvl 78 Hunter. I ran all up and down Southshore and could not get the first drop. I killed all the Murloc and Naga. WTH!

Comentado por 117913

Yep me too. I logged out here before the Cataclysm. Killed about 20 Naga's and not a single Clam. However they do drop cloth and wool now which I never got before. Oh well moving on................

Comentado por 715497

It seems it can only be found in the instance nowadays with Cataclysm comming out soon...

Nagas and Murlocs don't even tend to drop clamshells anymore :(

Comentado por 728513

Clam Meat and Tangy Clam Meat CAN be found at Zoram Strand, the drop rate is rather poor but it is better than nothing.

Comentado por Spiritseekr

Ok so after killing some things on the Zoram Strand and not getting much of a result, I went into Blackfathom Deeps and wiped out all the scaley type creatures there. Naga, crabs, and Murloc. The result after about 30 minutes was as follows: 6 Clam meat, 62 tangy clam meat, 2 turtle meat, 4 small lustrous pearl, 17 crawler claw, 17 crawler meat. Recommendation: Go into BFD to get tangy clam meat amongst other types of useful things to cook.

Comentado por 735029

I found Snapjaws in Hillsbrad Foothills that have Tangy Clam Meat :) After Cataclysm....

Comentado por GaitaofThrall

It seems that the giant clams in STV only drop giant clam meat and blue pearls post Cata.
We've seen the best drop rate in BFD, 2-4 per clam, and the occasional thick-shelled clams outside & inside BFD.

Comentado por Mariabia

Ok, I really do not get where to find them in Stranglethorn Vale, it's very confusing and time wasting...So, I suggest no one goes there to look for Tangy Clam Meat!

Comentado por 791432

Confirmed that BFD is the best place for farming tangy clam meat. Not inside the instance, just the tunnels outside the instance. Spent 15 minutes down there and got 25+ tangy clam meat. The nagas re-spawn pretty quickly.

Comentado por 749593

Southshore is no longer a good place for Tangy Clam Meat or Iridescent Pearls. The mobs there used to be level 30 but they are now level 20ish.

The only place left is Blackfathom Deeps.

Comentado por SLoWKiLLz

can be farmed in southshore from the murlocs and naga but drop rate is insane maybe 10 in 45 min of farming the turtles on the river are about a 75% drop rate and i went to wetlands to farm these off the bluegill murlocs got 50 in 45 min

Comentado por vatas

I killed Naga outside Blackfathom Dephts and inside. Drop rate is relatively poor but they DROP

Comentado por Catoria

According to the clam meat page, tangy clam meat now drops on Westfall shore, rather than clam meat.

Comentado por kstewart

Okay the best place I found to get Tangy Clam Meat is The Cape of Stranglethorn.
Go to the big island north of Booty bay.
You will find Nagas there. On those nagas you get clam called Thick - Shelled Clam
those give you the Tangy Clam Meat and you get them here fast..

Have fun

Comentado por 804446

If you're not high enough for Blackfathom Deeps, but can still go after regular level 20, 21, etc., the naga on Ruuzel's Island just off of Zoram Strand drop the clams that contain this and the ones that contain regular clam meat. The drop rate isn't amazing (my wild guess is about 40%), but these guys respawn fast!

Comentado por 823030

Confirmed on the big island north of Booty Bay; even as a level 43 mage I didn't want to mess around with BFD, and I remembered they dropped quite a bit while I was questing out there. First circuit around I got 7, the second I got 9, and that was just enough to make the cooking recipe yellow instead of orange. Plus I still needed the silk they dropped so it was win-win.

Comentado por 761762

thanks you guys who left these comments. i finllay got my tangy clams lol. in 10 minutes i got 13 pieces from the nagas. murlocs just werent fruitful today. going to farm the hell outta these for future needs.

Comentado por 864910

BFD worked really well for me. In about 30 minutes, I came out with 53 Tangy Clam Meats.

One of the things that isn't really mentioned is that in the circular pool around Ghamoo-Ra (the big turtle boss), there are a bunch of Giant Clams scattered about on the pool floor. If you swim around and open these, you'll usually find between 1 and 3 Tangy Clam Meats inside. If you're high level enough to not aggro anything between the instance portal and the pool, you can just run in, farm, run out, reset and repeat. You don't even have to kill anything, although the murlocs and naga in the instance drop Thick Shelled Clams pretty regularly too.

Comentado por 403391

Level 85 Troll shaman.. just farmed a bunch of these up from the Naga's in Southshore, so I'm not sure what the previous 4 commenters are talking about.
Also, the Murlocs drop Clam Meat much more commonly then Tangy, so if you want some of that stuff as well, go murloc run. Otherwise, I recommend naga side, or better yet, Snapjaws (Refer to my comment at top of page).

Comentado por 913810

if your in your mid 20s go east of tarren mill to the stream that runs north to south and kill the turtles there they drop the clams tho not the best drop rate its a good shot to get at low lvl. can also collect lots of turtle meat for the turtle bisque recipe and fish the sagefish schools while your at it.

Comentado por 329098

Don't forget to loot the Giant Clams in the water around the turtleboss in BFD. They can contain 3 tangy clam meat per clam.

Comentado por 744278

Fun factoid: Zesty Clam Meat and Tangy Clam Meat are most likely references to the late and great American comedian George Carlin. He did a particular bit in which he mentioned the words "zesty" and "tangy" and their uselessness outside of advertisement.

alongside the shore in Contraforte de Eira dos Montes there are Daggerspine naga.. drop is quite good after 20min of farming got two full stack of Marisco de Casca Grossa

Comentado por 479347

I found a good spot for DoT classes, if you don't feel like going into the BFD dungeon. It is the small island full of naga north of Booty Bay. I believe they are "warrior" type mobs, because as soon as you agro them, they charge to you. You can dot as many as you can reach, they will charge, and loot away! They have around a 50% chance to drop the clams, which I guess is a bit low, but I had good fun in any case. They can also drop Silk Cloth, sometimes Wool.

Comentado por felixrico

Just to add to Spiritseekr's comment. Just farming the caverns will give you Tangy Clam Meat if you don't want to enter the Dungeon. I received about a stack and a half by wasting the whole cavern and the beauty is they respawn when you backtrack!

Comentado por bambambambam

@ spiritseekr (since I currently can't reply directly) ~

BFD is definitely the place to go, I just wanted to add that while farming the mobs in the room with the 1st/Turtle Boss, be sure open all the stationary clams that are in the waters. I got 3 tangy clam meats from many of these, as well as iridescent pearls on occasion. Like someone else mentioned before me, you can basically clear all of this section of cooking in one run, and hopefully even stock up on some extra pearls. I know on most servers I play those iridescent ones go for some serious $$$

Happy Farming!

Comentado por jriker1

I started farming tangy clam meat. Picked up 5 of these clams and got 5 blue pearls. So i agree with the others saying this is the WRONG clam for "Tangy" clam meat...

Comentado por tworley210

The inland murloc colony in N.Stranglethorn drops the clams. About 10% I'd say. The dark area on the map south of the rebel camp.

Comentado por Baleraze

I got these from Lv 30-31 turtles on the beach in The Hinterlands.

Comentado por semkipivo

South shore of Hillsbrad, between the river and Arati. You need to kill Daggerspine Shorestalker Espreita-costa Espinhadaga. The drop is just MASSIVE and a great respawn rate.
