Title: Razor clams
Post by: Bow tech hunter on May 08, 2016, 05:53:47 PM: Family and I just camped at cape disappointment for the long beach clam diggs for Mother's Day weekend with 4 of us at camp we ended up with 120 clams I was curious can I smoke these razor clams in a smoker?

Couldn't resist and had them as an appetizer for dinner. I would highly suggest doing up most of your haul this way. Maybe grind up several cups and freeze them for chowder or fritters as well. Sooo many ways to enjoy those lil buggers!
