Sunday morning, Louis and I got up early and headed to Futtsu Beach to do some clam digging. The rest stop along the way was right on the water and had great views.
We were surprised at just how many people were at the beach digging for clams!
If we ever go again, we will bring foods that require chopsticks to eat with. Sandy hands required creative thinking when eating lunch.
Here we are enjoying our lunch.

After two hours of digging, we came home with a decent yield.
After a day in the fridge, I was worried they had died...but upon adding water it was evident they were alive!
Cleaning was a bit of a hassle...
Once cooked, they were very tasty (besides the few that hung onto some sand).
But how can a meal with red wine be bad?
