Wow! I love photos. I showed my husband and he began to weep with desire to come have some razorback clams and wild mushrooms AND olives from that big bowl. The wine looked good too!

Does this mean you might be coming to visit, cj??? Anytime! I love having visitors.

How do you eat coquinas? We have a crapload of them here in Fla. I have seen them sprayed on houses, but never eaten. Are they any good? (I guess they must be if you are selling them)
How do you cook them?
