Clams on Washington state beach are being cooked to death by heatwave
A heat dome in the Pacific Northwest that raised temperatures to 121 degrees Fahrenheit this past week caused blackouts, deaths and cooked clams on a Washington State beach.
Hama Hama Oyster company, a family-run shellfish farm, shared images to social media of their clam beds in Hood Canal that are littered with open shells and dead clams that were baked to death by the heat.
Lissa Monberg, Marketing Director of her family’s Hama Hama Company, told DailyMail.com: 'The epic heatwave is something no one has seen and then we had a low tide that was as far as it has been in 15 years and it happened mid-day.
'They [the clams] look like they had just been cooked, like they were ready to eat.'
