Key points of buying clams

When buying clams, you should choose to open your mouth for air. This kind of live clams tastes more delicious, and try to choose the ones that stretch all over and spit sand more evenly.

Don't choose clams with open shells. Some clams have already opened their shells, which means that the clams are dead. Such clams have a foul smell after being fried, so you should pay special attention when choosing them.
