We used to make "Periwinkle soup" made from coquinas we seived from
the beach sand boiled with milk and then strained to remove the sand.

What?

Coquina is empty shells, right? A few hundred yards off the beaches of
St. Augustine were miles of coquina under the surface. Pretty decent
fishing grounds, actually. You made soup from empty shells?

Did it taste like...chicken?

Where do you think the empty shells came from?

These are the little guys that bury themselves as fast as the waves or
kids, dig them up. Try digging a little right at the water's edge,

Aren't these sometimes called "sand crabs?"
Seem to remember we called them that a VA Beach when I was in the
Navy. Also seem to remember thinking about using them for bait after
reading something about that, but didn't do because it happened to be
about the only time I just couldn't find any.
