Digging for clams

How many people and how many clams per person? This seems like a particularly bad way of stripping a beach of shellfish if restrictions aren't enforced.

Darren, exactly what I was going to say. People in Kanto have always sprinkled clams even 50 years ago in Isogo in Yokohama when I was a kid (there was a beach back then) as well as near where Tokyo Disneyland is today. I have also heard they use clams from NK but wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still using it today.

That's strange. Our local supermarket doesn't hide the fruits and vegetables in the ground for us to dig up. Saves me a lot of time.

My J-wife and our kids loved taking a cooler box out to 浜松市, Hamamatsu-shi and into the bay at low tide to dig up clams. We took them back to our mansion in Shizuoka Shi and distributed them to our neighbors and had a clam soup competition.

Good on them, outside and having fun. The kids must be loving it

It still makes me nervous that nobody in the picture is wearing a mask. It is still too early for that.
