Its time to get your shovels and your clam guns ready. Head for the Oregon coast, Seaside and Gerhart beach are your best chance of bagging your limit of Razor clams this year. Check your tides tables for (-1) and lower tides. Search the beach for a small round circle that looks similar to a donut with a small hole in it. Point your back to the ocean and dig like your next meal depended on it!
If you get there to late you will find that all the other clam diggers have hit the sand with the round handle of there shovels. This will make it very hard to tell a clam hole from a shovel inprint. Get there early is what I am saying, trust me if you get there late you will know just what Im talking about.
Razor clams are one of the most desirable shell fish around. In stores there sell for as much as $14.00 to $15.00 dollars a pound. There are a great number of ways to prepare these claims but my favorite is beer batter dipped and pan fryed in butter.
