Crest Daddy has it right!!!....SLIPPER SHELLS (right-fully named too, as they do resemble a "slipper".....although Clammer had both 'slang' terms spot on as well!!!...."deckers" and "Lapas" (pronounced "Lopish")

Crest Daddy, they're not only edible, but :drool:....."poor man's" - Escargot is what I should have said! They're also delicious RAW!!! Pluck em out of the shell, rinse in the surf....and slurp it in.:buds:

Clammer, my father's been complaining about the $$$ of sandworms lately....he's been catching scup on slippers and winkles...
Free Bait? ... gotta luv us green-horns??? :devil2:

Gotta LOVE that last cavity!!! Smallest leg, biggest muscle!!!

Flags been red last couple of days....wash em' good!!!:)

Gilly,
The Port/commercial crew uses sea clams /with handlines for them ;;:fishin:
