- You should choose those that are of moderate size, oval shape, elongated, with tightly closed shells that close quickly and have a slightly fishy smell, as they are fresh razor clams.
- Razor clams with a curved front and a round back, with the valves slightly open at both ends being the same size and longer at the back, with clear and abundant liquid inside are delicious.
- You should not choose those that have opened shells, with cloudy liquid inside, or a foul smell, as these are not fresh razor clams.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers that are medium-sized, have bright colors, smooth and shiny skin, with fresh stems, and feel firm when held, as these are fresh and delicious bell peppers.
- You should avoid choosing bell peppers that have cracked skin, many bruises, or missing stems, and feel a bit soft and mushy when touched, as these are bell peppers that have been stored for too long and are no longer fresh.
