How to distinguish between real and fake clams?
Look at the appearance
Fake snow clam oil is generally made from the fallopian tubes of all kinds of frogs other than the Chinese forest frogs (Russia, North Korea, the vicinity of the Changbaishan Mountains, and toadstools from various places such as Shandong, Henan and so on), fresh ones. Shandong toad oviducts are very similar in appearance to Chinese forest frogs, and fresh Russian toad oil is white in color, large and round, and better recognized.
Shandong fake oil is less elastic, less glossy than the real oil, and the shape is flattened. Fake clam oil is generally not sold fresh oil, but made of dried oil to sell, most of the fake clam oil stewed out of the flavor and the real thing is not much difference, but this kind of fake oil is not sun-dried treatment before a strong fishy smell, similar to the smell of rotten meat, very disgusting. If any buyer has eaten the fake oil and then smelled the odor of this fresh fake oil, they are guaranteed to vomit. Genuine fresh clam oil, on the other hand, has a light fishy odor and smells more pleasant.
Look at the shape of the foam
Fake clam oil hair head is small, the real clam oil hair head is large in the form of cotton, while the fake oil has a tubular feature, commonly known as chicken intestine, fake oil only part of the cotton, but also more loose. Although the volume of real oil before soaking is less than half of the fake oil, but the volume after soaking has been close to the volume of fake oil after soaking.

Can also have a good soaking times, but even if the soaking is good, and the real clam oil compared to there is still a certain gap.
