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

When I was in Russia on missions I ate soooo much caviar that I
thought I was pregnant with fish.
And as for frogs legs, we caught frogs and ate the slimey beggars
whole.

The whole frog??? EWWW!!!

The closest I've come to caviar was when Pop and a another man both caught
pregnant rainbow trout. I don't suppose either of them could tell. We sat
down to dinner and the women chefs in the kitchen came out and led us in a
prayer for the loss of so many trout, vital to the fishing club. Obviously
a bad omen. They displayed the fish opened up, showing the roe (thousands
and thousands) for all to see.

North shore of lon "G" island Bayville to be exact.

One waited for the low tide, waded out to the clam beds and then by
swiveling ones body you could dig your feet into the muddy sand and find
fresh cherrystones. Sometimes pretty good sized clams as well. A good clam
knife some lemon and Tabasco.................

Er, I'm not going to eat that. BTW, this is a nice segue into a
program I caught snippets of. It makes me want to become a
vegetarian.... Ack!

This program on aquatic life won't be available online for about 2
hrs and 15 minutes:

The freshness doesn't make up for the over-abundance of grit, IMO.

We washed off the grit in the "overflow" pipe from the water tower. :-)

There is little that can equal fresh New York spring water.

"Some People"

Most of them exclude your posts if you no the secret passwords. For
example:

x-no-archive: foodbanter

Will keep your posts off of foodbanter.com

Very interesting! So if Susan is paying attention, I suppose we'll start
seeing all her posts starting off with

x-no-archive
x-no-archive: foodbanter


Still won't keep Giganews, Teranews, and their sister services from keeping
the posts.

Raw????

When we visited Washington State, we dug for razorback clams. But we
just brought them to a local canner and hand them processed.

Raw????
