Thanksgiving clamming starts today

 

November 20, 2014



Diggers will have plenty of opportunity to put razor clams on the Thanksgiving table during a week-long dig that begins today (Thursday).

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the opening, which runs through Nov. 26, after marine toxin test results showed the clams are safe to eat. No digging will be allowed before noon.

WDFW has razor clam recipes as well as advice on digging and cleaning clams on its webpage at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/razorclams/.

Digging days and evening tides during the upcoming opening are:

--Nov. 20, Thursday; 5:06 p.m., 0.0 feet, Long Beach, Twin Harbors,

--Nov. 21, Friday; 5:45 p.m., -0.5 feet, Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks,
