Here are some simple and easy steps for cleaning clams.

Start out by selecting the best clams that you can possibly find, even if you have to pay a little more for these. Try to find the ones with shells that are closed or, if they are slightly open, have visible siphons (the little breathing tubes used by these mollusks). If they are slightly open, they have to close when tapped gently. Do not buy clams whose shells gape wide open or are broken. Also, go by the smell – the fresher they are, the more they will smell like the sea. Avoid buying from a batch that smells bad or is beginning to stink.
