Went clamming in bay last weekend. Was scared the storm would wreck the season, but about 100 clams were took in 2 hours. Here's to a clean summer in the bay

For us, after speaking with some folks that would know, we are not eating anything that comes out of the bay this year. Clams/oysters/mussels are nothing more than natures little water filters, and there is a lot to filter in the bay this summer. Keep the Imodium A-D handy
One of my buddies is an off-sea commercial fisherman and when he told me he went clamming with his family I knew it was fine. I also checked with the division. Tissue testing of shellfish met the National Shellfish Sanitation standards.For us, after speaking with some folks that would know, we are not eating anything that comes out of the bay this year.

To each his own.
My friend and I clammed Barnegat Bay this past Saturday and did very well. We raked 300 clams between the two of us. We fed them to about 30 people that night at a party. Grilled, deep fried, and raw. We also had a clam feast on Sunday. All is fine.
