7 Tips Cooking Shelled Clams, So They're Tender and Not Fishy!

Dream - Who doesn't love Indonesian seafood dishes, especially peeled clams? Although delicious, processing peeled clams can be a challenge in itself when preparing them.

7 Tips Cooking Shelled Clams, So They're Tender and Not Fishy!

"Alright, Dream has 7 tips on how to cook peeled clams to make them tender and odorless. Come on, let's take a look!"

1. Choose Fresh Peeled Clams

Make sure you choose peeled clams that are still fresh. A tightly closed and clean shell without crust or dirt is a sign of high-quality peeled clams. Avoid the ones that are already open, as it could be a sign that the clams are already dead.

               

2. Clean the Shellfish Thoroughly

Before cooking, brush the peeled clams under running water to clean off any dirt and sand that may be stuck. This process also helps to remove any foreign substances that can affect the taste of the dish.

               

3. Soak the Clams in Saltwater

"To achieve maximum cleanliness, soak the shelled clams in saltwater for a few hours before cooking. Besides cleaning, this method is also effective in removing the fishy smell from the clams."

               

4. Boil with Spices

To make it more aromatic and delicious, boil peeled clams with spices such as ginger, lemongrass, bay leaves, and lime leaves. Make sure the water is already boiling before putting in the clams.

               
               

5. Do not Overcook

Remember, don't boil the clams for too long. Just 10-15 minutes after adding the seasoning to keep the meat tender. Overcooking can make the clams too tough and dry.

6. Avoid Unopened Clams

After boiling, observe whether all the shells of the clams have opened. If there are any closed ones, discard them. This could be a sign that the clams are not suitable for consumption.

               

7. Customize to Taste

"After being drained, you can prepare the peeled clams according to your taste. Fry them briefly for a crispy sauté or add fish or chicken broth for a delicious soup. Your cooking creativity, so delicious dishes! By following the tips above, your peeled clam dish will become a favorite on the dining table. Good luck and enjoy its deliciousness!
