A section dedicated to a new found love.

Here you can see the clams, one out of its shell laying in my hand to illustrate size. When searching for the Razor Clams on the beach they will produce a "Show". One of the images illustrates the "Shows", what one expects to see on the beach in the sand. Our first trip to the Mocrocks area we were greated by a Patriot guarding the beach, it seems he too liked the clams. Was not intimidated by visitors (us) to its beach. Day or night the digging is a blast! During sun light seeing the little kids with parents is the funnest. "Daddy!, daddy! theres one!" exclaimed the little girl. Wow dad was being w-o-r-e  o-u-t by the kids. At night as the joke goes, hey where'd ya park the car. Not uncommon to see cars with flashing LED lights on the dash to help the owners find them. Pumpkin lanterns, flash lights, and head lamps all help. But then again so do co-operative clams.

Transporting razor clams

The best way to transport razor clams is dry and in a cool place. Like live crabs covering them with towel soaked in seawater may help. Clean them as soon as possible. There are many published methods for transporting them. A google search will give you a better idea. WDFW does not recommend seawater (my method with a bubbler) and fresh water will flat kill them.

Theory to practice, I tried the WDFW recommended method. A cooler with ice on the bottom. A wet towel or burlap bag on top of the ice. The clams on top of towel or burlap. Another wet towel or burlap bag on top of the clams. My clams were still alive after the 3 hour drive home. This will be my forever method now.
