I'm wondering how they do it. How do they keep the sand from filling up the hole when the clam is underwater?
I always look for the lowest tides and only try for the one's far from the water's edge. As you dig down, once you reach the water level the sides
cave in and fill up your hole. At that point it becomes futile and you just give up.

I used to tender on a geoduck boat in Tofino and they are the most delicious things...OK, IGor, I got ya beat...yes the siphon is magnificent but the
most sweet, succulent part is to bite into the raw....ahem...balls.
YOu havent lived till you taste this ladies and gentlemen.
ON another clam envy note...if any of you are in GN, take the drive out to El Faro...turn left after the bank...go to the end and visit the guy
guarding the pangas there in the shack...he always has a sack of chocolatas ready to share (and he loves tecate!).

we dig these dudes up in washington too...but first one needs to place a metal hoop 3 feet in diameter or so around the neck,(siphon), of the clam and
push it down in the sand....that way nothing caves in as you dig......and the very very best way to eat them is raw, sliced very thinly then add
wasabi, limone, soy sauce..yum!

I'm surprised to hear, sHARI that you're getting chocolates on the Pacific Side. I've never seen them in the lagoons I fished over the years and the
surf seems to be too rough for them, hence pismo clams are what's sold along the highway.
This whole thread about mashing siphons and eating cojones must be disturbing to read for most guys.

Thanks Shari...... That's nice to know. I'll be looking for them next time down. I'm just dying to have a couple of dozen chocolates. Every
time I watch that Andrew Zimmerin show on Baja I start drooling all over myself......

Took these this past weekend, directly in front of our Beach House.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....
