Review:

"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." (Jerry Adler Newsweek)

"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)

"Charming and informative" (Nelson Bryant The New York Times)

"Highly readable and informative...the recipes scattered throughout are a definite bonus." (Aung Thein)
