Seasonal Scoop

Spring seafood favorites include razor clams, mackerel, herring and sardines, as well as All About Wild Shrimp.

• Razor clams are popular from Scotland to the American Pacific Northwest; there are several important species of mackerel, and the best mackerel is landed in trap or handline fisheries in the summer and fall; herring and sardines are swimming onto main course entrées.
• Our feature on good choices when it comes to wild shrimp includes langoustines, Northern shrimp, Oregon pink shrimp, and U.S. spot prawns.

These seafood items are featured in the April 2008 issue of Afishianado™.
