clams

The estuary already has a long list of non-native species, including bass, water hyacinth, Asian clams and overbite clams.

The world didn’t just lose almost all the dinosaurs; it also lost the flying pterosaurs, the seagoing mosasaurs, and reef-building clams the size of a toilet seat, in addition to mass extinctions of mammals, lizards, birds, and even plankton.

It continued: "The kitchen is now under the command of Chef Victoria Blamey, who brings her own style and story to this robust tasting menu. Oyster with kalamansi cream, Dungeness crab empanadas, and surf clams with nixtamalized sweet potato reflect wide-ranging inspiration; and something is always grilling, like dry-aged pheasant or grass-fed lamb."

This destroys marine ecosystems by eating away at the minerals used by aquatic animals like lobsters, crabs, clams, oysters, shrimp, corals and other living creatures of that nature to build their shells and skeletons.

We went out on the boat together and were able to forage and harvest ingredients in the marsh and ocean and then pulled up to a barrier island and set up our portable grill and made really fresh dishes with the mussels, fan clams and nepales we’d found.
