A couple out celebrating their anniversary at their favourite restaurant got more than they bargained for when a clam in their appetiser dish came with a genuine pearl inside.
Maria and Michael Spressler were dining out at The Lobster House in Cape May, New Jersey, in the US, on their 34th anniversary - as had been their annual tradition since 1987 - when they made the lucky find.
Michael said the last clam in their usual appetiser had felt a little different than the others.
