Happy Clammers

                 Gilbert Gillis has been digging clams on Prince Edward Island ever since he was the age of this little fellow....and there's nothing he loves more than showing visitors his favourite clamming spots in the eastern part of the Island.  He knows the secrets of finding the best clams and he'll share his knowledge and techniques with you as he takes you out to dig your own feed of clams.

           But the best part of this experience is all the stories Gilbert will tell you about growing up on Point Prim.

           Clams come in all shapes and sizes....soft-shelled "squirt" clams, bar clams, quahogs and razors.  Steamed squirt clams are a summer treat and bottled bar clams are a winter staple in many Island kitchens

           Even though they can be found all along the Island coastline, you have to know where to look and what to look for.  And with Gilbert, we've taken the guesswork out of clam digging for you. He’ll show you how to properly dig for them and help you measure the ones you find to ensure you don't take the young ones.

            And once you've dug your feed of clams, Gilbert will take you back to his house where Goldie will be waiting with a real treat for you.  Besides steaming up the clams you bring back, she'll have her world famous clam chowder and biscuits waiting for you in the kitchen.   And knowing Goldie, you can pretty well be sure there will be one of her great homemade desserts topped off with something fresh like Island rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries or blackberries.
