I read your instructions for cleaning horse clams. I noticed you didn’t save the piece that the muscles are attached to. This piece looks like the seal for the shell halves. I save it because it adds another texture to the ground meat and it tender and juicy compared to the neck. Love horse clam fritters. Thankyou Jim.
Next time you plan a trip to Georgia let me know and we will do some Stripper and White Bass fishing on Lake Oconee. Maybe get a hog or two on my property as well.
