To the editor:

I just finished reading Randy Purinton’s article on razor clams [WWF March 2004]. Twenty-five years ago, living on Cape Cod where I did much shellfishing, I dug into a mess of razor clams. Folks said they were okay to eat but no one ever did. I took home about a dozen with my soft shells. I just took a guess and steamed them – what a treat!! If you can find’em, eat’em – Yumm Good!!
