Best Seasons for Shell Fish
|
|
With the exception of clams and lobster,
which can be obtained all the year around, shell fish have particular
seasons; that is, there is a certain time of the year when they are not
suitable for food. It is very important that every person who likes shell fish know just
what these seasons are, so that he or she will not include this type of food in their
diet when they should not be used.
Table below will give you basic general information you need.

The popularity of the edible varieties of mollusks and crustaceans depends largely on whether they can be easily obtained and
whether they are pleasing to the local or individual taste. As they are
found in salt rivers, bays, and other shallow salt-water sources, their
greatest use is among people living near the seashore.
