Tapes philippinarum, originally from the Western Pacific, but has been introduced into many other parts of the world, including Western North America, and Europe.

if you bought it at the food-shop, i think it is: 
          [b] Ruditapes  decussatus [/b]
is superficially similar in shape and size to the Ruditapes philippinarum.
