Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Americans living far away from the seashore chow down on clam chowder, unaware of the labor and skill that go into catching these well-camouflaged bivalves for their bowl of soup. Badger's Clams: How to Find, Catch, and Cook Them tells the story of the skill and experience required for successful and productive clamming. He explains the differences among the different species that clammers are apt to encounter. Once these pesky little creatures have been properly confined and cleaned, Badger's recipes stand ready to re-create a host of favorite dishes: baked clams, steamed clams, stuffed clams, and casseroles. Regional collections near coastal tidewaters will appreciate the practical information in this brief treatise. Mark Knoblauch

This review is from: Clams (Paperback)
This book is a total rip off. 32 pages of text about clams and few more pages of recipes. Plus, this book could have been written by one of Jerry's kids, it is so poorly done.
