This is a book about clams
but it is also a book about places where clams live
the islands, bays, and marshes of our Atlantic coast.
It is a book about being out there
and it is a book about clam chowder,
clam fritters, and clams with pasta.
This book will whet your appetite for clams and clamming.
"Curtis Badger has produced a hearty and literate chowder, combining the practicalities of how to catch clams with delightful evocations of the sandy, marshy fringes of the coast where they live. A gustatory and ecological tour de force."
