>### HOW TO CLEAN SOFT-SHELL CLAMS
>Some clams, such as steamers and savoury clams, require "purging" — or soaking — to remove
naturally occurring sand. I've heard of many tricks, but the most effective method is to make a very
light saltwater brine (about 250 mL/1 cup non-iodized salt mixed into 4 L/16 cups cold water), and
then to immerse the clams in it, keeping them chilled. You will need to change the water a couple of
times — always using salt water — and it will take about a day of purging to get rid of the bulk of the
sand. Littleneck clams, chertystones, razor clams, and Manila clams typically don't require this step.
