How to clean clams

1. First, put the clams in a large plate and soak them in water. Then cover it with a small plate. Press the two plates with both hands and move them up and down for 3 to 5 minutes. The sand of the clams will be revealed in the plate. Now you can take out the clams and wash them with clean water. The first method will keep the freshness of the clams and prevent them from being lost easily. But I think this method will always encounter mud and sand sometimes. 2. Wash the clams first, then blanch them in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes before frying. If there are unopened clams, open them and check whether there is any mud or sand. As for the second method, although it is blanched in boiling water, the original flavor is lost due to the boiling water. 3. After buying them from the market, use a basin, fill it with water, add some salt (equivalent to seawater), and put them in the refrigerator immediately (to keep them fresh, not freeze them quickly). Generally, if you buy them in the morning, there will not be much mud on them by the evening, and they can be eaten. The temperature for raising clams must be low, otherwise they will die at room temperature. In the vegetable market, you can see that the boss selling clams uses salt water and ice cubes to raise clams. That's how they are raised. In less than 5 hours, the mud and sand will be gone.
