clamming for gold


This is me, Sam, and Miklos pulling clams out of the sand in Islesford. It was cold out. It was great fun.

We brought them back to the house, soaked them, then cooked them, then ate them with homemade pasta. It was one of the most delicious meals in recent memory.

What I learned -

- dig when the tide is low
- sometimes clams squirt water when you pull them out of the sand. lots of silly pee jokes can be made.
- keep track of your digging tools, otherwise you will lose them
- you're gonna fuck up your manicure. be okay with this.
- soak them in fresh water with a little corn starch

Clare took this. She also did most of the cooking. Thank you Clare.
