OK, how many things can the Fowlers yank from the water, throw in a pot and then eat? Let me tell you… a lot. To top off our foraging extravaganza this trip, we woke for an early morning low tide and dug for clams on the tidal flats.

Mom was kind enough to make an amazing clam and smoked salmon chowder when we returned with our bounty. I have no clue what really goes into Mom’s chowder, but the truth is, I don’t want to know, I just want to eat it.

My brother shot this short but equally illustrative video of all of us digging away on the flats– A 1:33 minute taste of what it’s like in the life of a Foraging Fowler:
Funny video. Clam rakes may do better but it looks as if the flats are hard so perhaps not. But OMG!!!!! The photos of the clam and salmon soup….invite Liz and me next time. I would love to forage with your family and then be a helper in the kitchen. I may actually have to change my menu tonight from beef stir fry to the last two postings. Lovely. Your bro is funny too.
Best,
Lance
The best part about this video is that Ben’s narration is done in the EXACT same voice that Eva would use for such a narration.
