2024.3.3. Clam digging

3/3, Sunday, drizzle, cloudy. Took a ferry across Puget Sound. My first time ever out digging for clams, and picking oysters, with moderate success. About half a dozen folks out on this gloomy yet fresh day, in the mud at low tide. It was a bit chilly. Clams are not so easy to find. Also they are full of mud. Oysters are easy (different spot), but needs to shell them onsite: so it's challenging.

Set in the Home Depot 5-gallon pot for a whole day before cooking. Still a lot of sand. Need more sea water to cleanse the mud. Tasty though. Money wise, not worth the trip: ferry costs over $40 for 2 people. But it was fun. Need to find a good spot on this side of the water.
