Sorting Clams
While walking along a harbor to the Adriatic Sea in Rimini Italy, we spotted these men sorting clams. The shell is about the size of a medium lima bean but the clam is much smaller. We were served Pasta with clams and gnocchi with clams in a restaurant. Tomorrow I will post those photos.
If you enlarge the top photo, near the pilot house of the boat you will see the metal "basket" which they drag along the floor of the sea to collect the clams. After the clams are sorted, the clams not used for culinary purposes are returned to the sea.
