Diving for Pismo Clams

Quote from dustyyoungblood

Clam charters this year?

Haha. My buddy and I went down and got a couple of limits today. I got the jackpot with one going just under 7 inches across. That thing was really big.

Diving. I'm not a pussy. Haha. We trunked it with no weight belts. I used my bodyboard fins. My watch said it was 57, but it didn't feel that cold.

Spoken like a good Marine.

My simple recipe for the "regular" clams.

After they are cooked, remove from shell, in a bowl add good olive oil to cover the clams, salt and black pepper to taste, a little bit of garlic, a little vinegar and oregano, let it marinate for a couple of hrs in the fridge.

Eat plain on a toothpick/fork or on sliced baguette.

HAHAHA. No aqua culturing for me. Not now at least. A buddy of mine is raising tilapia and crawdads and growing his garden off of their waste. Its really a cool process. But I am moving to a spot without as much space and no garden so I don't know if I will be able to even grow the basil seeds my great grandfather brought to the US from Italy through Staten island.

Your great grand father's seeds like the weather near the bay.;)
I just planted 7and 7 of them after getting them started in wet cotton.

Hahaha I might be a disappointment but I am as excited about heirloom basil as I am about clams!!

Alright Don! I am so glad they are doing well Just got back from my trip and am exhausted. Your bungee line worked great!!! Stoked to see the seedlings.

Glad you liked it, I wish you could have tried my SpearDiver C-90 carbons, next time.

Now in the interest of gardening....

Test 1
The seeds in the green pot were looked over by Zeus and his chick, they are growing fast.:D

Test2
The seeds in the second brown pot, I sang La Traviata to.... clearly they are just stressed my the birds.;)

Cheers, Don

Hey Alex, I might have some basil to go with that ''Tail'' soon.;)

Cheers, Don
