Ask Leroy! Ep. 24 | Leroy Goes Clamming

In this episode of "Ask Leroy!": Herbie Carter, fisherman and clam digger native to Deer Isle, joins Leroy on the mud flats to help demonstrate how to dig for clams. They talk about their childhoods and times they went clamming together, size requirements for harvesting, history and culture of clamming in Maine, and even how to shuck a clam! We're sure you'll have a good laugh with this episode and hope you'll come away having learned something new about clamming in Maine.

Special thanks to Herbie Carter for helping with this episode.

Clamming in Maine is managed locally and people interested in digging clams should contact the local town office to check on the need for permits and which areas are open for digging.
