Happy National Clams on the half shell Day today ...
Yum. Next to Clam Chowda my favourite is Clams on the half shell.
So good.
The 1st time I had clams on the half shell was at a pub in the Quincy Market in Boston ... Or maybe it was on Cape Cod. As usual, there was lots of beer involved.
It was somewhere in New England, ... definitely the North East ...
Now that I think about it a little more It might have been while we were out West near Lake Tahoe. We were Panning for gold on the Mokelumne River.
We didn’t have much luck with the whole prospecting gig. This song pretty much sums it up.

On National Clams on the Half Shell Day, on March 31, seafood lovers won’t clam up about their love for clams because, today, they get to devour these meaty saltwater animals that they have probably been clamoring for for months.
As a cousin to oysters, the bivalve mollusks with their fishery goodness are best enjoyed fried, steamed, or grilled. Let’s come together to build up our appetite for clams on the half shell and eat them raw with cocktail sauce and mignonette!
