Where to go clam digging in New England?

[Consolation]

<p>

I seem to recall Maine beaches as being rocky.</p>

<p>Any natives with current experience?

</p>

<p>They can be rocky, but that doesn’t deter the clams. People usually go clamming at low tide, but it does require a permit and in Southern Maine there are fewer permits available than people who want them.</p>

<p>

Be sure to eat lobster while in Maine. Eaten locally it is way better than after it has travelled about the country.

</p>

<p>Very true.</p>

<p>

A $100. That is crazy. Do they want to drive tourist away?

</p>

<p>People here dig clams for a living. Few tourists want to go clamming. (Although we always did when I was a kid and we spent a week or two on Cape Cod or in Maine.)</p>

<p>

Is the “no name” restaurant still on the commercial docks in Boston? Or has it passed into history as has so much of my cherished youth?

</p>

<p>I loved that place! And for a few months one year I actually had a job in a fish factory on Fish Pier, right down from the No Name.</p>

<p>Try clamming on the bayside of Cape Cod or inlets in RI.</p>

<p>I love the noname restaurant. Thanks for the link, I will definitely visit there. I think seafood at Legal Seafood is very good(my ex-roomate worked there) but overpriced.</p>
