The beachside bistro's motto is "back-to-basic scavenging with nouvelle cuisine" and true to form it serves the bivalves in a light brine sauce with savory bits of seaweed.
As owner-chef Jean-Jean Agincourt notes, wielding his trademark 12-inch knife, "Two words, monsieur: cutting edge."
The menu reflects his view on cooking and announces: "Don’t expect Chilean sea bass, Copper River salmon or Clams Casino". It still features "mer-tinis", barnacle bisque, marinated coral, kelp au poivre, starfish in parchment, grilled dogfish, hermit crabs in white wine, along with another new entree, rack of clams.
"You want the usual fare," sniffs Agincourt, "go hit Red Lobster."

Yes ... and how about those geoducks?

You might want to pass along a suggestion from Puget Sound - squiggly squid on a skewer.
