Clam digging will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the Long Beach Peninsula.

“This is a great opportunity to dig some clams for your Thanksgiving table,” said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Ayres urged diggers to bring a lantern for the evening digs.

Diggers can take 15 razor clams per day and are required to keep the first 15 they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.

Diggers age 15 and older must have an applicable 2013-14 license to harvest razor clams.

Licenses range from a three-day clam-only licensing costing $8.60 to a combination angling license costing $54.25 for state residents.
