A huge clam the size of her foot.
We had to keep it, of course. So we took it home in a bike helmet.
And Mari named it "Al", and I had to remind her that clams aren't pets; they are food. She took it pretty hard.
Wayne cooked it for us, because we know nothing when it comes to cooking clams.
This is what the inside of a two-pound clam looks like:
When Wayne was cutting away the meat and washing out the contents of the stomach, he found these:
Two tiny crabs that LIVE inside the clam! Apparently, it's extremely rare to find a clam with a crab living inside it, and we found TWO!
Isn't that really gross/cool?!
P.S. It tasted quite good. That's what we get when we live two blocks from the beach. Tough life, EH?

WOw, that's pretty cool! And it weighed two pounds? Is that pretty big? it sounds huge to me!
Interesting, but I can't say it looks very appetizing. It made for a good story though.
what do you mean, LIVE? you mean the clam didn't eat the crabs? how can they live in there???
