Clams

This is a book about clams

but it is also a book about places where clams live

the islands, bays, and marshes of our Atlantic coast.

It is a book about being out there

and it is a book about clam chowder,

clam fritters, and clams with pasta.

This book will whet your appetite for clams and clamming.



"Curtis Badger has produced a hearty and literate chowder, combining the practicalities of how to catch clams with delightful evocations of the sandy, marshy fringes of the coast where they live. A gustatory and ecological tour de force."
