Use to get 25 cents to shell a bucket.
Use to dig 4/6 buckets a tide.
Use to sell a 24oz. bottle for $1.00 standing on the side of the road with a sign.
Use to pay 25 cents for a scoff of fried clams.
Use to kick large clusters of mussels out of the way. Would never think of eating them.

But I still sit with a pint with my brother in law and eat a bucket of raw clams when we have the opportunity to do so. And that is about every second year now.
