- You should buy surf clams with a curved front head, a round back head, the valves slightly open at both ends that are the same size and longer towards the back, with a lot of clear water inside, which is a sign of freshness.
- You should not buy clams that have opened shells, cloudy water inside, and a foul smell because these are not fresh surf clams.
