Yep. And last year Sebastes and I met a couple who had about a 10 inch kitchen knife and wanted me to show them how to clean oysters. We lent them an oyster knife rather than watch the bloodshed.

I try to teach the new comers whenever I can, but get pissed when I see someone with well over the limit. The 40 clam limit sucks, as you can barely get one meal of the perfect sized steamers, but it’s the law and if I have to follow it so should "they".
