How Do You Get The Sand Out Of Clams?
To get the sand out of clams, you can soak the clams in a bowl of cold water for at least an hour or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. As the clams breathe, they will release sand and salt, and the sand will sink to the bottom of the bowl. After soaking, remove the clams from the bowl and discard the sand and water. Give the clams a quick rinse under cold running water to remove any remaining sand or grit.
