Cleaning Horse Clams

One of these was dug by a very determined tiny 7 year old! We had a big pot of amazing clam chowder that night.


Surprise inside--tiny albino crablets.

Please check back for detailed video on how to clean horse clams and geoducks.  Coming as soon as I figure out how to edit the video!

Back in the Kitchen Again

Dumping old pickled carrots into the sink caused this little seductive still life to take form. Do you ever put carrot sticks into the pickle jar when the pickles are all gone?





Fresh clams sauteed in butter -- treasure from the sea! We dug these horse clams at a minus low tide. The "gooey ducks" (geoducs) got away. Special equipment is indicated, a tubular thing called a clam gun. (Does that come with NRA membership?)

That's a link to a nice piece on the geoduc and Puget Sound.
