Arca is a kind of seafood whose shape looks like the clam. The difference is  the black, thick and wave-pattern cover. This creature lives inside mud layer on the beach along islands.

Arca can be steamed or grilled.

"Ruou ngan" (arca wine) is a specialty of Halong, which is highly nutritious, really delicous and simple to process:  after being dipped quickly in boiling water, arca is opened and its meat will be ground with rice alcohol to make arca wine./.
