This summer has offered some of the best clamming in recent years along the Pacific Coast; except for razor clams. Due to the open-ocean habitat razor clams thrive in, red tide levels have been high, forcing extended closures.
But bay clamming has been red-hot. And with the intense summer heat and lack of rainfall, rivers flowing into estuaries have been low and slow, meaning salinity levels are high in the many bays and estuaries where many clams thrive. Higher salinity levels means some clam species won’t dig in as deep on low tides, equating to easier digging and faster limits.
Next to razor clams, softshell clams are a favorite to eat for many people, myself included. Generous limits and good sized clams yields a nice amount of tender meat, and they’re simple to clean.
Softshell clams, aka mud clams, can be dug in a few ways. You can dig a trench and find multiple clams in one spot, find the biggest shows (hole in the sand through which the clam’s neck protrudes to eat and breathe) and dig for that one clam, or use a stick to poke into the show and dig into it. The stick method helps ensure you won’t break the clam’s shell.
Purple varnish clamming is also popular, and generous limits are necessary in order to get enough meat from these little bivalves. These are easy, fun clams to dig for the whole family. We had a great time at Siletz Bay, on the central Oregon Coast.
Cockles, steamers, Empire clams and more can also be found in many bays throughout the Northwest. Monitor tides, hit the lowest ones, and get out there and gather some of this often overlooked, very good eating seafood.
