Oh no, for the mere cost of a clam license and some goofing off around Andy's Way, you too can have perfectly good cherry stone clams. Very fun, and very sweet.
Now I love strawberries and peaches and stuff but on Block Island I really love a scoop of my favorite ice cream covered in those fresh blackberries. For real fancy-schmancy you can get real BI watercress too, like we used to down by the Spring Hotel Pump house. Mint would be cool too.
It used to be like $20 and yes they check ... not sure on the particulars these days and Islanders get a special deal.
THE CLAM DANCE
Some people get rakes and shovels but we just go to Andy's Way and walk towards the old Coast Guard shack in maybe 3 feet of water.
Now do the Clam Dance Boogie. Stand in one place and move your feet so the sand moves away, kind of like shaking the hips and swiveling to your favorite rock song. When you feel something hard, pick it up - it is either a rock or a clam! That's the clam dance.
Oh, put the small ones back in the clam hole, please. /sammie
I'm 75, Retired from 20 yrs. in the U.S.Navy as an Aircraft Engine Mechanic (reciprocating,round),Retired from 30 years in the LPG gas business here on the Island. I have 4 kids and 6 grandkids, and that is not enough! Love to build from scratch and attempt to fly radio controlled model aircraft with varying degrees of success. An avid reader since 8 years old. Classical is my music of choice closely followed by R&R from the 50's-70's!
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

Wow, neat house and I love the kitchen!
Hope sometime y'all can invite me over for a plate of Bay Boogers 'n' Worms.
Ummm ... that's Block Island cherry stone clams served over pasta, but I thought you might like the way I said it. /Sam
cherry stone clams served over pasta sounds good, like a plate of gourmet chocolate covered strawberries with a mint leaf on the side.
Cherry stone clams sounds like a gourmet dinner served at a really evpensive restaurent.

Do you have to pay to get a clamming license?

Funny dance
Hey Ev
Maybe a good topic would be proposed bicycle helmet ordinance and the general pussification of America?
Thanks
