Step 1:

First, put the fresh scallops in the water a few times to rinse off the mud and sand on the shells.

Step 2:

Stick a knife into the shell and cut the shell in two, and then cut through the flesh. At this point, you will see that both sides of the shell have shell meat. Then press the knife against the bottom of the shell and remove the meat completely. Remember, the knife must be pressed against the bottom of the shell in order to remove all of the meat.

Step 3:

After the shell meat is removed, first use the knife to remove the guts, the dark looking stuff, from the shell meat. Then place the intact shellfish into a large bowl. Add a little bit of salt and soak the shellfish in salt water for two to three minutes. Use chopsticks to rotate the shellfish clockwise, which is done to make the sediment on the surface of the shellfish sink to the bottom of the bowl.

Step 4:

Fish out the shellfish, pour out the water in the large bowl, and put an appropriate amount of cornstarch in the bowl. This way the raw powder will take away the residual sediment in the shellfish thoroughly. Finally, wash it again with water and the shellfish is processed.

Step 5:

If we do garlic vermicelli or steamed scallops in black bean sauce, we still need shells as the base, then we can use a fine-bristle brush or toothbrush, and then brush off the sediment on the shells thoroughly.

In this way, the scallops are cleaned. You can eat as much as you want, and there is absolutely no sediment to mess up.

The second method of cleaning scallops--

In addition to this method, we can also use the method of soaking to clean scallops, the method is as follows--

The fresh scallops are washed with water, and the shell is cleaned with a brush. The shell is scrubbed clean. Then prepare a pot of water, put in the appropriate amount of salt to melt, and then drop a little oil and stir well. Put the washed scallops into the basin to soak, after about half an hour, the scallops will begin to desperately spit out the mud, usually 2 to 3 hours can be spat out. If you want to be more clean, change the water a few more times, in addition to pay attention to, don't add too much oil, otherwise it is easy to suffocate and die!

In order to prevent the scallops to spit out the sand and then sucked back, in the soaking can be placed in the scallops in the water filter basket, and then the water filter basket in the water basin, so that the filter basket and the bottom of the basin to maintain a distance of four or five centimeters. In this way, the sand spat out by the shellfish will sink to the bottom of the basin and will not be sucked back by the shellfish.

Finally, the shells of the scallops are then brushed and cleaned.
