only a tiddler, about 6 mm. Glad I didn't put a bigger one on the glass, this one was hard enough to get off.
Aug. 4, 2009 — After the clams are loaded—255 70-pound bags in all—the truck operator closes and seals the vehicle with a tamper-evident tag. If the seal is broken before the truck reaches its destination, the state and FDA will investigate to make sure no clams are diverted to market before cleansing.

Aug. 4, 2009 — Clams and other shellfish can be harvested legally from waters that are marginally polluted if they undergo cleansing, or “depuration,” in tanks of water disinfected by ultraviolet light before going to market. At the J.T. White Clam Depuration Plant in New Jersey, workers rinse the clams before they go into tanks for cleansing. The FDA shellfish specialist holds a test kit to check the levels of chlorine, which the plant uses to sanitize equipment surfaces.

Raw spot prawn! Wild BC spot prawns are in season so I like going down to False Creek Fisherman's Wharf and bringing a pound of fresh ones home. This is my favourite way to eat them, because the live shrimp meat is so sweet. This photo is from two years ago; posted here: shortcook.tumblr.com/post/633102274/raw-spot-prawns

Aug. 4, 2009 — The cleansed clams are rinsed and put on a conveyer that drops them into bags for shipping. The gap in the rollers allows small or broken clams to fall into a waste container. The state inspector (center) shows the plant’s meticulous records to the FDA shellfish specialist (left) and the manager of New Jersey’s Food and Drug Safety Program. With these detailed records, any illness from the shellfish can be traced back to the plant and the harvest area so that prompt actions can be taken to prevent further illnesses.

Lobster Rolls, Blueberry Slab Pie and Maine Obsessing on smittenkitchen.com
I had a mini-heart attack when Alex came home from The Lobster Place with two pounds of what is supposed to be the best lobster meat you can get around here, cooked and cracked fresh that morning, to find only four tiny containers (maybe half-pint size?) in the bag. This was one of them. Thank goodness as I chopped these packed-together tails and claws, the tiniest volume became about six cups, or a nice big bowl of chunks and, astoundingly, more lobster salad than we could fit in the 64 (okay, 63, I ate one) buns I'd made.

Shellfishermen and women worked the early morning low tide in Brewster today. Shellfishing license holders in the town of Brewster benefit from the town's "put and take" oyster program, which is open on occasional days during the late Fall months.

Different perspective on the same pile of oysters. Taken by crouching down in the tide pool and holding my camera just above the water. Daring, I know. Probably shouldn't take too many risks like that - seeing as how it isn't really my camera...

I have no idea what this is, except that it came out of a shell. I do know, however, that it was still moving when I ate it.
A bit of a gem in Springvale. It's the only place I know of that serves a delicious crab soup with mung bean noodles.
