Chowder

July 4th weekend found us clamming again in an estuary on the east end of long island. I scooped up this crab from the water. After this photo he scittered to the depths, perhaps to become a sea gull snack someday.This time we found a few more clams, despite it being high tide. Here they are cleaned and ready for boiling.
A couple rolls toasted in the oven served as croutons.
This blurry picture doesn't capture the wonder of this batch of home-made, foot-felt, hand-gathered, clam chowder. It was excellent.
