Hey.... I’m not farming clams anymore. May be getting out of growing oysters too. Just can’t handle everything my self, make a living and work on my house. When you come up shoot me a text. (Sending PM. ) I can point you at some places to dig a few. You will need a rec license though. Like $20. Can give you a bit more specific info on local fisheries too.
Thanks although I am perfectly happy buying them at the restaurants already cooked. Just brought that story about about digging them in my childhood to show you we didn't know what we were doing. And was curious about how many are farm raised vs. wild harvested.
As far as texting I wouldn't know how to do it. This ol' fart is probably one of the last people on earth that doesn't have a cell phone! Had one briefly as a hand me down from the wife until I tipped the kayak last year on vacation. Note to self: put the electronics in a zip lock bag when you're on the water!
From one aquaculturist to another -- thank you.
BTW have thought of retiring to Maine and continuing to raise the small amount of trout, bass, yellow perch, and crappies that I hatch and raise to trophy size to sell whole to fellow taxidermists all over the country. Was told some of those species may be a big no no as they are exotic invasives. Even raising them indoors would not be allowed although I did see a Cabelas in Maine that had bluegill and crappie.
