PACIFIC NORTHWEST RAZOR CLAMS - cjs - 08-22-2014

Didn't I have a fun day cooking and playing with clams -

No, we’re not back in Washington, but I’m trying to make room in the freezer by using the goodies I brought from our freezers before we had to sell them. So today, it was Razor Clams – Three Ways.

Here’s a little info on Razor clams if you are not familiar with them. Seeing a picture of them as dug, it’s easy to see how they came to have their name.

I grew up coming to the coast, Copalis Beach, with my family for clam digging, which has to be done at low tide which can be 3 to 4 or 5 a.m. I remember many times as obnoxious children we would begin whining when the tide came in and we would be surrounded with water and sure we were all going to drown.
See the rest of the story on my travel blog – www.cjdacook.wordpress.com

This is the jewel of the northwest!!

Looks delicious, Jean. You continue to amaze me with all that you manage to cook while on the road. You must have a pretty great kitchen to work in.

I sure do and it took us 3 years to find....Denise has a great kitchen in hers, also.

BUT, she's not done Razor clams yet!
