Razor clamming on the popular Clatsop County beaches reopens Oct. 1 after the annual conservation closure.

ODFW recommends people avoid harvesting and consuming softshell clams from the Alsea Bay estuary due to biotoxin risks.

Littleneck clam

Oregon has two littleneck clams that are tasty treats. The native littleneck clam is a bit more round than the Manila littleneck clams, a related non-native clam that is farmed in mariculture operations and is available on local markets as "steamers". Both can be harvested as part of the bay clam limit.
