Oysters galore!
Found a good one!
Luke the oyster hunter
There were literally just thousands of oysters scattered along the shore. So, we tried to find the best ones which we were told were the ones with lots of ridges and purple edges. These oysters go for about $3 each at restaurants, and we got a dozen for $5!
And if you were willing to put the work in, you could also dig for clams.

I look thrilled, don't I? The taste was pretty good, but it's the texture that's just a little too "out there" for me.
We rounded out our trip sitting by a bonfire on the beach. It just doesn't get better than that. So, as you can imagine, between our four dozen oysters and two dozen clams, we had quite a bit of shellfish to consume. Luke conquered the oysters, and with the clams, we made our own clam chowder! Here's how it turned out:
All in all, it was the perfect Pacific Northwest weekend!
