I remember claming on vacation. I forget where we were, Cape Cod I think
and sinking about knee deep (for a 4' kid) in the shallow shore waters and
plucking them out of the mud. Funny, I don't remember eating them.

I loved shrimp from day one and I got friendly with crabcakes at some
point. I got introduced to turtle soup at Bookbinders in Philadelphia. With
a little spritz of sherry and it was delicious. It tasted most like chili.
Very stringy meat. Very hearty soup. Cans of their "snapper" soup can be
found in some supermarkets. MUST add oyster crackers. Don't recall lobster
too often but I remember it putting up a fight against the nutcracker they
gave me. It was thoroughly frustrating!

I never had caviar or frog's legs.

Best,

Andy
