Editorial Reviews

"Charming and informative"

The New York Times - Nelson Bryant

"A delightful handbook for digging or catching and preparing clams, oysters, mussels and scallops, the best since Euell Gibbons' classic 'Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop.'"

Kirkus Reviews

"Reaske's small masterpiece details everything about clamming, oystering and musseling...and presents a range of marvelous recipes designed to bring out the full flavor of these marvelous bivalves. Highly recommended."

Booklist

"Clearly, here is a man with a gift for taking a commonplace activity and finding both romance and sustenance in it."

Newsweek - Jerry Adler

"Highly readable and informative...the recipes scattered throughout are a definite bonus."
