Clamming
Clamming
has break open forth along with the shellfish population. In
the seventies, only a smattering of boats bothered to dredge
for clams, but now many captains have state clamming
permits, many of them onetime lobstermen. Clamming is
generally a part-time line of work for a river man,
commercial fisherman or farmer.
Most of
the folks who do this for amateur reasons will consume the
clams that they find since clams are regarded a very
sumptuous seafood commodity.
Clamming is most
effective during a minus tide of two feet or more. You will
require a pail, a clam digger, boots, and at least one mitt to
protect against the razor clam’s piercing shell.
Clamming can be very back-breaking
work! Clamming ought to be done at greatly low
tides. Check the tide tables for optimal clamming
periods.
