does anyone know where to get clams(any type)..tried J&L but the clams there dont look like they are in great condition....or if anyone has clams they they want to sell plz reply....also does anyone know if anyone sells sea pens

Hidden Reef just got some clams in.

I think there was some ultra grade Maximas also.

Ian

Big Al's had some in

Wheres hidden reef?

Doug

yup thats what i was gonna ask too

go north off the mt leman exit just past the lights and their on the right side behind the micky d's.

what city is this store in???

Seems like Abbostford.

#108- 3240 Mt. Lehman Road Abbotsford
604-856-1433

if your heading east bound from highway 1 take exit 83
then make a left on the light
its right behind shell

Are their prices reasonable ?? as in worth the drive out from Vancouver/Burnaby?

Doug

well when they have them derasa i bought one and it cost me $49 without taxes
cheaper in king ed

mike at hidden reef is great! good prices, good livestock
tim at seacare has amazing clams all the time, hes in chilliwack
both are worth the drive

Sadly last time I talked to Tim he said he wouldn't sell to me because he didn't want to sell to potential customers of the stores he was supplying, if he's changed his mind I'd buy my clams directly from him, I've got a gold maxima that I got from him at the first reef meeting and it's amazing, best $20 I've ever spent.

Doug

so i guess seacare has the cheapest clams???

I'm not sure you could say the cheapest but he's got amazing clams. The $20 one I got was pretty small but I don't regret buying it.

Doug

hmm wonder if he ll be at the next vancouver meeting so i can ask him to bring some down because that is quite a drive just to get some clams....with the gas price now a days i ll mind as well as go to big als or j&l...oh how i wish the gas price were like b4 at like 40 cent a litre

I remember when I could put a half tank in my V8 Valiant for $5 and that would last me most of the week. I've got a 80 GMC 3/4 ton Camper special 4x4 that I've had to take off the road. I fish out in Chilliwack and was finding the trip would easilly cost $60 just for gas. Now I'm thinking I maybe can sell my truck for enough to buy a trailer for my boat so I can use the Nissan Sentra to pull the wee lil fishing boat.

Nam, I think you'd be impressed if you drove out, and why just get one clam, make it worth it get 2 or 3.

Doug

I want a couple of smaller clams..

oh i wasnt thinking of getting just 1, I was thinking of getting like 5

does n e one know seacares number????

www.google.ca
Tyep in "Sea Care" Then your on their web site :lol: :razz:

seacare (604)824-9107

Lostmind, talk to Tim the maxima I got was about 2 inches, it's grown a good inch and the mantle is very nice.

Doug

was your maxima gold or blue???

Just an FYI, but I drive from Victoria to see Tim if I want anything. Certainly worth the drive, but call first.

sounds like a trip to see Tim is in order :)

I'll call and make a trip. I have been waiting on JL to get in the little clams they had a few months back. But no luck yet.

Mine is a gold, I'm trying to set things up, (nano etc) and then I'll try to get some pics of the clam etc and post them, in the mean time, Get your own man, ...lol, also if anyone wants to come out and take a look see you're welcome to, just sign a waiver so you can't sue me if you trip over all the crap I've got laying around right now.

Doug

ok just came from Hidden Reef and I got myself a nice Ultra Maxima [I'll post pictures once i get home]. Talked to Mike and he said there a large order of clams due to arrive before end of the month.. You can call him now and put reservations on the clam but he needs a deposit..
=o)

There were 3 squamosas, 2 of what i think are derasas and three nice Ultra Maximas left.
he's open till 8 tonight =o)
