I can't remember why I started collecting shells. I do remember that I was given a large box full of shells - clam and mussel and oyster and scallop. After that I was seeing shells everywhere - a shoebox full of Italian shells at a yard sale, huge Queen conchs at the thrift store, a jar full of Flame Augers at the flea market, and a large Green Turban shell at the junk store. My favourite of all the hundreds of shells that I have is the Abalone. It has been a long time but I can still recall the taste of breaded abalone, thick, chewy,seasalty goodness. And the beauty of the shell cannot compare to any other that I have seen.
