Advice please?...How do you remove the beard off a clam?!
Thanks
Answers: I've recently acquired some which the neighbour brought back from a fishing trip, but I'm having trouble cleaning off the beard.
Thanks
the juice that the clam secretes is usually caustic enough that it will melt its own hair off, as long as you have a knack for getting the clam to secrete.
Just grab hold and yank. If that doesn't work, get a stiff bristled brush and scrub! Be very careful that all the clams are fresh and alive. Don't eat any that don't open
You remove the beard off of a clam with your teeth.
you just pull them off...simple
shave it
