Loose Screws clamming 6/26

What a beautiful day at LL and another great LS hookup!  We found new clamming ground thanks to our "Columbus" Hai  Everyone had a great time and no problem finding the clams.  I'll let the pictures tell the story...

Loose Screws know how to get them clams!  Another fun day in the sun!  Great pics Sonny!

Thanks again LS for posting the hookup. I had a great time digging and the feast/company afterward was enjoyable as always.

Can anyone identify this species? Tasted great!


I didn't have time to get them to "relax" but as I was processing a few of them, I pulled out live crabs! I didn't realize that they targeted them.

A friend owed me money and paid it back with a large bill so I might as well use it.

That clam you wanted identified is a Washington clam. It is one of my favorites no neck peeling required.
Wish I had joined you, looks like you had a great time.

Thanks for that. I had asked someone on the clam beds if it was a washington and he said no. Instead, he showed me his cockle and said that it was a washington (pun intended... the cockles have ridges on the shell). At least I know now and will keep them from now on.

You never go hungry whenever your around the LS.  Seriously, I had planned on being sick that day but I got transferred again to another department the day before. Good seeing you all having a great time.

Sorry to miss out guys.. I had new dog bowl scoopers ready to go too..
Damn, I miss that sweet meat.

Heard someone brought Lee's #1 too... Always eat well my friends.

Looks like fun. How do you prepare the washingtons? I have always left them because I don't know what to do with them. The seem too big to just steam and eat and too small for just a neck job.

You Screws have all the weekday fun!   

Easy way to clean clam necks is to dip them in hot water  for a short time.
