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.
