Mukilteo Musings

Thirty years ago on our honeymoon, we learned about razor clams. This past weekend, on the coast, we lucked out with a short razor clam season. Hubby and son worked hard with a clam gun and came up with their limits. The best part was the feast. We had plenty to freeze and bring home but of course we had to eat some the same day they were dredged out of the sand. Razor clams are big and mild and best breaded and sauteed in butter--combined with a great bottle of Washington wine and the sound of the rain and the surf outside of our small cottage--what could be better?!

The next day, we visited our favorite seafood shop in Ocean Shores and picked up Dungeness crabs to bring home and eat. They were just out of the steamer pot and put on ice to cool and so fresh tasting when we got back to Mukilteo.
