How to choose fresh and delicious butter clams
- Choose butter clams with intact shells, not chipped.
- Prefer clams with their tongues sticking out, as this indicates they are still alive. Live clams will naturally open and close their shells.
- Avoid clams that have a foul smell and are open-mouthed but cannot close, as these are dead clams.
How to clean butter clams thoroughly, without sand
- Soak the clams in water, add 2 to 3 sliced chili peppers, and soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour. After soaking, rinse the clams with clean water to finish.
- Pour rice water to cover the clams in a basin and soak for 1 to 2 hours; the clams will automatically expel all dirt.
