How to purchase clams:

1. Choose clams that open their mouths to breathe. When buying clams, choose ones that open their mouths to breathe. Such live clams taste more delicious, and try to choose clams that stretch their whole body so that they spit out sand more evenly.

2. Don’t choose open shells. Some clams have opened their shells, which means the clams are dead. Such clams will have a fishy smell after being fried, which will affect the taste. So pay special attention when selecting.

3. The clams in the supermarket are better than those from the vendors. Mainly because supermarkets use salt water, and they are constantly supplied with oxygen, so the treatment is better. The clams on the vendors take a long time, and many of them die.

4. Choose larger clams. Large clams have more meat and taste more delicious. So try to choose something larger.
