Clamming Success

[flukeyou]

Over the past 2 weeks, my daughter and I have gone clamming. I went clamming with my Dad when I was a kid and haven't done it since.

My Daughter and I both got our shellfish licenses and headed to try our luck. Let me tell you, it was some of the most fun I've had in a while. I forgot how much fun clamming is and now my daughter is hooked on it. We had a nice haul each trip out and they turned out delicious. Between my license and my daughter's junior license it was only $12.50 between us. An inexpensive day out of the house and in the water. Also, much respect to the men and women who clam for a living, while fun for us, it still is hard work.

We made some grilled clams basted in garlic butter and the sandwich is a Fried Clam Po' Boy sandwich where I breaded the clams in crushed ritz crackers. Delicious!
