  3. Buttered panko on each.

Start with how to clean a razor clam if your clams are still in the shell. Washington's daily limit is the first 15 you dig, so most recipes here are sized for one limit or less.

Dig them first.

DigTide tells you the minute a dig is approved, then shows the window to be on the sand.
