Sururu is a type of mollusk found primarily in the coastal waters of Brazil. It is commonly known as the "sururu clam" and is often harvested for culinary use. The shell of the sururu is typically small and oval-shaped, and the meat inside is tender and flavorful, making it a popular ingredient in various dishes. In Brazilian cuisine, sururu is often prepared in stews, soups, or served with rice. It is particularly associated with the northeastern region of Brazil, where it is enjoyed for its unique taste and nutritional value. Sururu is also a source of protein and is appreciated for its contribution to local fishing communities.
