As an Oregonian, I can confirm that this is exactly what a PDX male sounds like. At least any one of them who considers itself a feminist. You can sound like this as well! Step 1) Upspeak the end of every sentence in an attempt to sound informed or interesting. Step 2) Whistle your S's. No, not a Texas Whistle (i. e. Matthew McConaughey). More of a tooth whistle (i. e. Shane Dawson)Step 3) Be so afraid of your audience's reaction to what you're saying that you're not entirely sure what to say next. However, be more afraid of losing your chance to speak. Filibuster by saying uhm like or sooooo Step 4) Take yourself so seriously that satirical humor is offensive and should be punished by violent masked vegans who claim to promote anti fascism.

Weve gone out to Samish Island in Washington to go claiming every year and eat these. Definitely a local treat. You do not need to dive for them. Literally just start digging a hole and fill your bucket. The local regulations are pretty favorable right now. I would imagine commercial harvesting will change that for regular people. That tedious work he was doing to prepare them are why they arent mainstream. They are a middle weight clam. Too large to steam and eat by the buckets because of the amount of poop in the bellies, and too small to harvest like he was doing normally left for a Geoduck, which are great but we (America) ship them to Asian countries for top dollar.

This video makes a point that isn't well known about the Oregon Coast. Every year we get a lot of casualties because the beaches may look calm but we do get really string currents. When we say stay away from the beach because we have 40mph winds it isn't just referring to the wind. It means there's a nasty current that is dangerous. Sneaker waves are a real thing and so is the riptide. Never turn your back on the ocean and always listen to the locals.

We usually have those in most coast. Best and easy way to prep it is just put it on top of the stove (high heat) or grill it. And once the shell opens it's considered cooked, the shell and the meat will get separated easily. Dip the meat into vinegar w/ sliced chili and eat it. Sweet, with a hint of taste of the sea, balanced with sour and spicy tanginess of the vinegar and chili. Phenomenal flavor.

Captain, it is your environment, 55# of weights are too dam much. Even for your size. Consider cutting back, a littleat a time, you Likely can get more work done UW with less work. A small bailout air system might also be a consideration. Too much can, and does, go wrong Underwater. From a former UW Pro. Good video. Best

I'll stick with the little neck clams. The smaller ones are tender and delicious no matter how you prepare them without any waste. These, are probably very expensive due to the amount of work used to find, harvest and prepare them. I'd think that they're probably chewy too.

So they are extremely important to the ecosystem of the bay, they filter everything -proceeds to harvest, kill, eat, and then try to advertise to get money and eventually drive the population to near extinction because as the supply gets more limited, the more people will want it?

Look I'm an 8th generation Oregonian and these are NOT anything new. If you wait until low tide you can literally walk out and pick them up. I used to sturgeon fish in the pools at low tide when sturgeon would be trapped. You could pick these up like rocks.

Coming from Someone who had a commercial fishing license and still owns a home in Tillamook County- Leave the Clams alone! They do so much filtering and biological work and a few dredgers could erase them for generations. Oregon fisheries are in peril.

Oregon Fish & Wildlife dont play around, if you get caught illegally harvesting ANYTHING, were talking 2, 000 fine and more. So if you think your going to go to O. R. and do some poaching your WRONG, theres more Fish & Game up there then cops, seriously.
