Staywild Outdoor answer

Yes, I frequently forage for them on the Pacific North West. They are very near shore and easily found in any foraging or survival situation. They taste much like clams. To clean them simply place on a hot surface, a pan or rock heated on a bed of coals. The meat will cook and when ready release from the shell. The gut sack can then be cut off and the whole thing rinsed and eaten. For Native peoples these along with Snails where part of the near shore diet.
