Hi Vicky and Gener, thanks for the replies :) Oh those ilocano terms! Haha, haven’t heard of them for quite some time. I love bisukol! So I guess halaan is just a generic term then.

In Eastern Visayas where I’m from, we call this ” Balinday or Barinday. Also good sahog for pansit! Try it!

Anna Banana,
Halaan is actually from the sea BUT there is no specific name for ilocano i guess so we simply called it “UKYANG” or DUKYANG or BENNEK which is mainly named for halaan of rivers. There are many names for this shells in ilocano and even sometimes named them as KAPPO or BILDAT which is different varieties with the same characteristics..This shells are quite different anyway from AGURUNG,BISUKOL,LEDDEG,DURIKEN,BIRABID,SUSU and KUSKUSLENG which are all edible and delicious to eat.this are the shells which are not known in tagalog and english except ofcourse having scientific names….
