WOW! You don’t mess around 👍 Thank You, for that tutorial 👍 Thank You !!! It was AWESOME 👍👍👍👍

You're right. I really don't like eating sand. Thanks for watching. It's always fun getting comments.

I scrub them with a brush. Then soak in salted water for ten minutes. Then eat or refrigerate.

If you put a mesh strainer (little smaller than than the bowl) it works great to just lift them out of the bowl...then carry on...

Awesome tip thank you

Thanks for the comment. The band-aid was from chopping onions earlier. Thanks for watching.

In our place we wash it thoroughly and then we boil it with water adding salt and turmeric. It opens while boiling and then we strain it and cook

This was really excellent information. I went clamming for the first time this season yesterday here on Cape Cod, and came here looking for the answer to whether iodized salt was okay. As you used a salt shaker, I'm guessing yes! One tip you might like to try; I use my salad spinner and basket for rinsing the clams. It makes things easier as I can lift the basket up out of the sand, dump the water, rinse the outer bowl and repeat. The spinner is also great for storing the clams overnight in the fridge with a wet paper towel on top because the basket lets them get more oxygen. Thanks for a great how to.

First time clamming in Chatham with my nephew ... I don't see where he used salt water like the other videos...

!What about the intestinal parts it dont get you sick?

I always read that having them in tap water for too long would kill them. Every time we have made clams after a thorough cleaning they had sand in them. I have never used the salt trick or did it 3 times. Thanks for this video

when i eat at different asian buffets i get clams. when i eat them i usually get bits and pieces of what looks like a small crescent shaped pieces of shell in my mouth. any idea what they are? thanks

Be careful with freshwater clams. Most are endangered species. Most edible clams are ocean clams

Yo this dude don't play. I don't think there was even bacteria left in these clams!

Victor, very clean man. Want you to cook for me.

broken shell from rough handling.

TRY BLACK PEPPER! !!!! It WORKS! Its best to Prepare a day ahead. Rinse it well. Fill the bowl with water and pour black pepper into the water. The clams will spit out all the sand.

John Davino of the old Grotta Azzurra on Mulberry Street in Manhattan employed a guy to do nothing all day but clean clams. They took their seafood god damn seriously. On the flip side, several years ago my mom had to send back a plate of steamers at Rooney's Crab House in Long Branch because they were covered with sand. I mean utterly covered; I tried one. Could be the freshest seafood in the world but it's inedible if you don't clean it.

no salt or cornmeal?

@tonyventimiglia6776

Жыл бұрын

no, they're from salt water so I don't think it's neccesary. And I never heard of using cornmeal. When we cook snails, we feed them corn meal for a day before they get boiled. It cleans out their insides. Is that what the cornmeal does to the clams?

Cold water

Hiyeahh...!! we're good!

did he just slurp up that clam?????....

Yep

Supposed to add salt to the water from the start when soaking

They are excellent raw. BUT you don't have to go through so much rinsing.

put them in washing machine

please invest in a clam knife!! your asking for a tripto the ER for stiches using a regular knife like that. Better yet put clamsinto the freezer for 20 minutes they are very easy to shuck after that

You need to soak them in salt water to the ocean level to get the clams to filter themself. Tape water will kill them.

omg you ate it raw!

I meant they are not steamers! Not steamers!

Customer to waiter..."waiter... why is my linguine with clams taking an hour and half to prepare"? Lol

Those are Quehogs . Little necks are soft shell better known as piss clams , When you walk over them they squirt . They also have toungs out on one end

Paul Compton I know this is old but your wrong, little necks cherry stone and so on are the names of the size of clams but you are right with the type

Wow. Seems to me a bit over the top. I scrub 'em, then let them breathe/filter for 20 minutes in a seawater level brine (tap water plus salt), and then I cook 'em. 1 tsp of salt in water sufficient to submerge the clams seems to be OK, at least for me. Yummy.

but if you use warm water, it'll be much better.

Where is this guy from Oklahoma? Washie, rinsie put on the rubber gloves let them purge. Open the shell, loosen the meat squeeze on some lemon juice watch if they squirm (then their alive, shoot it into your mouth, chew and swallow. That, Chef Needlenose is how it's done where eating clams was invented..

ICE COLD water

uh...if you don't you'll be eating nothing but sands. I've leaved them soaked in water for 3 days and yet they still have sands in them!!

Alot of work for very little edible food

Oh no you didn't eat that raw... yes you did.. Oh god.

🌬🌬🌬 Why are ppl not separating digestive tracks 😖😖😖

Did you just eat that raw hommie?!?.....lol

you should use fresh saltwater not freshwater... yuck !!!!!!!

Not easy. Also too much handling of the clams.

Why would you let them sit for 20 minutes in water for? They are steamers that have the tongues that come out. All they are is baby quahogs! You don't have to let them sit in water. You don't even have to rinse them. You can just shuck them like that! I would have has them shucked and ready to eat in 15 minutes!

Nya Stclair I was referring to "shares" which typically happen after watching a video.

Keeping the clams in fresh water for any length of time will kill them. You are way, way over cleaning them. Perhaps you might want to try an autoclave? I’m pretty sure you haven’t got a clue how to actually handle, clean and prepare clams!
