The surf clam (Spisula solida, is a medium-sized marine clam, or bivalve mollusc commonly found in the waters surrounding Great Britain. Up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long, it is like many clams a sediment-burrowing filter feeder. This species of clam is found at scattered locations around the British and Irish coasts. The shell of the surf clam is the main ingredient in the Japanese food wash-solution Surfcera (or Anshin Yasai　安心やさい).
