Ingredients:

Serving

clam , fresh hardshell
cold water, enough to cover your clams
1 -3 tbsp cornmeal , depending on how many clams you have

Directions:

Put the clams in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
Add the cornmeal to the water.
Let clams sit for 20 minutes to 1 hour. The clams should filter the water through their systems and spit out their grit.
Remove the clams from the water - DO NOT pour into a colander - to a clean surface.
Scrub the clams with a brush to get rid of any barnacles or residual sand, and rinse with cold water.
Your clams are now ready for cooking!
