There is a place in Bristol R.I. On the same road as Jamestown Dist. It's called galilean seafood I think. there are like three names on the bildg. The way I go in it's on the right side, close to the road that crosses over to rte 114. 16 broadcommon rd. Bristol, R.I.

There is a place in New Bedford but at a higher cost then Bristol. Since your coming from Wareham it is your better choice. Go there early when they are ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g claims

Where in Wareham can you get a 5 gallon bucket of clam bellies for 10 bucks.
I forgot the price of the clam tongues since it has been several years but something like a quart of half gallon for super cheap. Tell them it is for bait so the price is lower.

Make sure you salt them heavily with Kosher salt before you freeze them.

in Marion, heading into Marion on route 6. Take a left just over the wewe bridge and there was a place at the end of the road that sold clams and quahogs by the burlap bag full. I haven't been there for years. Does any one else know where I'm talking about ?

You'll wind up with mush that won't stay on the hook when you defrost them. 1/2 box of kosher salt per bushel of shucked clams, then into the freezer bags.

Yes. From Wareham, over the wewe, through the lights at point road and about a mile or two up on the left. It's on the south side of a small bay. Quahog shell driveway..I got stuck in the mud up to my t1t$ in that bay as a kid...I believe they're still there.
