One of the days we spent on the Kenai Peninsula was spent catching and cleaning Razor Clams. We went to a beach just outside of Ninilchik with our clam guns and waders in tow. We were among about a thousand people to go digging for clams that day. The limit was 60 per person per day. It took us about 1.5 hours to dig up our limit for 5 people. After that we went back to Dave's cabin we spent about 6 hours cleaning them. We set up an assembly line and did the cleaning as effectively as possible, but it still took us 6 hours. The good news is that we cleaned and vaccum packed them so they are ready to be cooked without any further work. So if you are going to go get razor clams, make sure you don't get 300 like we did, otherwise you are going to spend all day cleaning them.
