Evergreen Pacific Shellfish Guide

by J.D. Wade

Let J.D. Wade, lifetime resident of Washington State, share his recreational and commercial shellfish experience with you. Learn about the different varieties of clams, the how and where of trapping Dungeness crabs, and how to "shuck" an oyster. Discover the gourmet delicacy of Mediterranean mussels and the best time of year to harvest these shellfish. Illustrations and color photos will help you understand all the info J.D. makes available in this complete guide for shellfishing. Become educated on some of the environmental issues that will determine whether our Pacific Northwest smorgasbord of shellfish will be available for succeeding generations. And let J.D. share seventeen of his favorite shellfish recipes with you. All this along with charts (which include crab fishing zones for Puget Sound) and Washington & Oregon beach listings will help in making your next trip to harvest shellfish a great success.
