Freshwater Clams

GF is skulking around the lake digging up clams for no reason. How can we prepare these things to eat?

I skulked your gf's clam but I wouldn't eat it.

1. open clam
2. place meat on hook tied to a fishing rod
3. throw hook into water
4. catch catfish
5. eat

Is it a hairy clam?

Or just dig up some mud and bake.

Let me guess. She heard about how great the lake was for vacation from her ex boyfriend Chad who has a condo there?

They are a pain in the ass to clean, not really worth it.

But when you get them clean you put them in a hot pan until they open them you cut them out of the shell.

How do you clean them? Just a pot of clean water and scrubbing?

Dont eat lake clams, shit for brains

Why?

I didn't even know freshwater clams were a thing. Sounds gross.

Shut up, user. Let him die.

put them in a bucket of clean water overnight and they will expel a lot of the sand

>mongolian yak milking board.

then how do you explain the clams

That wouldn't work, you have to change the water every few hours or so

Chowder. Any other answer is incorrect.

Clean and debeard the clams.

Fry up diced shallots and diced garlic, add white wine, water, and parsley.

Put the clams in the soup and cook until done.

Serve with bread.

100% do not recommend OP since freshwater = Shit water in the U.S unless so unless that lake is the primary source of water its a 100% nogo.

They give you super powers.

I don't think you're supposed to eat freshwater clams.
