How to choose fresh and delicious razor clams
- Choose razor clams with sandy yellow shells, not chipped, and you can see the smooth membrane inside the clam.
- It is advisable to choose live clams, of large and uniform size as the meat will be plentiful and firm.
- Fresh clams will have the smell of mud and seafood. Additionally, to check if the clam is still alive, you can place it in a basin of water; if you see the clam sticking out its tongue, it means the clam is still alive.
- You should choose reputable seafood stores, supermarkets, or grocery stores to ensure product quality.

When the garlic is evenly golden and aromatic, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt.
Season with 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and 2 tablespoons of chili sauce.
Stir well until the seasonings are completely dissolved and the sauce thickens.
