First we got to get you some beach shoes
Then we got to get you to the clam digging beach
When you find a hole in the sand it is made by a clam, start digg’n
Oh, just a minute I forgot something very very important. You need to bring along your crazy brother you haven’t seen in 8 years, then head out clam digg’n
Boil the water, drop the clams in and when they split apart they are done. See photo above for close up. See photo below for the first taste.
Ok, the ladies on the beach said we would be going back for more before the night was over. I told her I’d need a 6 pack in me to eat one, she said “oh, they’d even be better theeen.” I was willing to eat one. I have a moto… if it crawls on the bottom and eats on the bottom LEAVE IT ON THE BOTTOM
No way, it was back on the plate, then Ralph said come on you have to eat just one. So back in it went for a second try. I’m not going to tell you what happened next.
So this has been my clam eating experience. I truly believe we did someting wrong right out of the starting gate. The smell that filled the house was (well we won’t go there) and then the hardness of the yellow tough yuck…
Growing up we were told by dad, if you hunt it you be prepared to eat it. My brother and I have eaten squirrel, crow, rabbit and frogs but this takes the cake, nothing comes close to putting one of these in your mouth. I don’t know how ya’ll do it.
I love you bro,
but you can eat the rest I’m saving them for you.
xo,
cindy

Nothing wrong with clams that having 2 or 3 stiff drinks before won’t cure. You won’t mind as much if your mind is numbed
Well papa would be so proud of you both! love you all!
I got my own dern clam diggin’ shoes… but my brother I ain’t seen in 8 years is dead (that’s why I ain’t seen ‘im…)… can I borry yers? I don’t LIKE clams though… ya got any oysters? I LOVE oysters…
I WOULD like diggin’ clams though! I just probly wouldn’t dig eatin’ ‘em! I have tried… they taste like rubber to me!
With that gorgeous sky, it looks like clamming was a whole lot of fun at least!!
We had a wonderful time though!
