About Family Clamming Class & Local Lunch with MV Shellfish Group
We’ll kick off the day at Katama Bay Landing with a hands-on lesson in harvesting our own quahogs. Learn from the MV Shellfish Group how to responsibly gather these island delicacies straight from the source.
Then, we’ll head over to The Farm Institute, where the fun continues. You’ll get a chance to learn how to shuck and open your freshly harvested quahogs, then roll up your sleeves and work together to prepare delicious clam fritters using what you’ve gathered. We’ll round out the morning by harvesting ingredients to create a fall salad from the Friendship Garden and share our meal together!
This is an adult/child partner program and children cannot be dropped off. Best geared for children ages 5 & up.
All parents/caregivers are responsible for supervising their children, especially while in the water at Katama Bay as we will be wading into the water. If your child requires a life jacket, please bring your own as we will not supply them. Participants are responsible for driving from Katama Bay Landing to the Farm Institute. A thanks to the Edgartown Shellfish Department for granting permission to harvest quahogs for this educational program from Katama Bay.
