In today's video we catch, clean, and cook clams in Topsail Island NC. There are different methods that you can harvest clams. We found the most effective was to use our hands. There are other methods by using a rake or clamming rake. You want to be extremely careful when you are using your hands on the bottom. There are oysters that are extremely sharp and other things that can cause you to cut yourself. Take precautions when doing this activity. You can even use a light pair of gardening gloves to help protect your hands.
You definitely want to wear an old pair of tennis shoes or something to protect your feet. I prefer tennis shoes so you can feel object when you're walking. If you do get a cut, please be sure and treat it well. This is brackish water that is full of bacteria and will get infected if not treated. Please be sure and check this site for closures and information on clamming.
