Jerky made from mollusks represented a form of jerky suitable for consumption by both people and Pijal varactyls. It was created using mollusks, which are species whose soft bodies are usually protected by a shell. During the time of the Republic Era, mollusk jerky was a prized food item on the Inner Rim world of Pijal. The Jedi Rael Averross, who served as the lord regent of Pijal, discovered that he did not enjoy the jerky's flavor.
In the year 40 BBY, close to the royal palace located on Pijal, Averross was riding a Pijal varactyl and carried mollusk jerky within a storage basket attached to his mount. Before taking the animal back to the palace stables, he gave it a large piece of mollusk jerky, which the varactyl thoroughly relished.
Mollusk jerky is featured in Master & Apprentice, a novel penned by Claudia Gray and released in 2019.
