HOME PAGE		 On the previous page I gave you detailed information on when and where to clam. I have provided a few of my Coos Bay Oregon clamming photographs - both before and after cleaning. I do the majority of my clamming just outside of Coos Bay Oregon in the small harbor town of Charleston. The clam pictures below should help you identify the type of clam, and if you take special notice you can also see the best place to find the larger clams such as the Gaper. There are many ways to cook the clams: they can be steamed, baked, broiled, deep fried and even smoked. All make wonderful clam chowders.
