SLOW FOOD GAINESVILLE SHOWS OFF CEDAR KEY'S CLAM INDUSTRY


We participated in a tour of the Cedar Key clam industry beginning with the clam research facility at the FWC Marine Lab and ending with a wonderful potluck featuring local clams. Thanks to Russ and Peg Hall for hosting us all and cooking up some fabulous clams. Many thanks as well to Leslie Sturmer from IFAS for her talk about the local clam industry and the tour of her "clam shack" research lab.
