Have you ever gone to the beach and tried to pick up shells or rocks with your hands? Imagine doing the same thing, but trying to find yummy seafood like clams, mussels, and crabs.
Some people like to gather seafood by hand because it's fresh and can be a fun activity. But it's important to do it safely and without harming the environment or the animals.
First, you need to know where to look. Some places are better than others for finding seafood. For example, you might have better luck near rocks or in shallow water. Always ask an adult or an expert before going to gather seafood.
Then, you'll want some tools to help you, like a bucket or net to collect what you find, and gloves to protect your hands.
Once you start looking, you might find some clams hiding in the sand or mussels sticking to rocks. Be careful not to damage any other animals or plants around you.
When you're done, make sure to clean your seafood thoroughly before cooking and eating it. And remember, never eat any seafood that looks or smells bad!
