Extended information:

The smooth and beautiful clam shell is a traditional container for medicines and cosmetics. In the early years, there was a popular moisturizing cream packed in the clam shell, commonly known as " Clam Oil”. Clam shells are also high-standard cement raw materials. In recent years, clam shells are also commonly used as a culture substrate for laver filaments.

Clams should be chosen with smooth, shiny shells and a relatively flat shape. Be sure to buy live ones. If you touch the shell with your hands, if it can close tightly immediately, it is fresh and alive. Clams that won't close their shells or keep their shells open are dead clams. There is another way to select clams. When purchasing, you can knock two clams against each other. The one with a firmer sound is fresher. The one with a hollow sound is more likely to be a dead clam.
