My nephew and niece went razor clam digging two days ago and brought us a nice mess of razor clams. And then while shopping today I saw that the first fresh stripe shrimp from the Gulf of Alaska were in. So a surf n surf dinner. Fried razor clams and boiled shrimp. The cool thing about cold water shrimp is that you don't have to de-vein them.





 
What happened to the shrimps heads? That is a great meal you got there!!! :D
 
I honestly believe that there's nothing better in the seafood world than a good fried clam, definitely my favorite!! Great looking meal Griff!!!
 
It's difficult to describe the taste of razor clams. I guess I'd say they are milder, but richer tasting than say a butter clam.
 
I think it was the butter clams my old man and uncle would dig up. Theyd put em in a couple a 5 gallon buckets. I was little then. Prob, 1973 or 1974. I remember doin it though! I've never seen anyone else ever diggin for them. weird?

They were big and most were white.
 
Hey Griff, those clams have a frog look about them? Do Razor Clams make noise and jump in the air? :LOL:

I know when I went to post the pics, I thought those clams look frogs. But they didn't taste like chicken. and they don't jump. The bastards are hard to dig 'cause they got a big foot and can do down in the sand quicker than I can dig most of the time.
