Cannolicchi, also known as razor clams, are delicious seafood often enjoyed in Mediterranean cuisine. However, cleaning them properly can be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with the process. In this step-by-step video guide, we’ll show you exactly how to clean cannolicchi to ensure they are safe and ready to be cooked.

What You’ll Need

  • Cannolicchi (razor clams)
  • A sturdy brush or scrubber
  • A small knife
  • Water
  • A large bowl

Step 1: Soak the Clams

Start by placing the cannolicchi in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes. This step helps to remove any sand or grit from the clams.

Step 2: Scrub the Shells

Once the clams have soaked, take a sturdy brush or scrubber and gently scrub the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse them under running water to remove any remaining sand.

Step 3: Check for Open Clams

Inspect the cannolicchi and discard any clams that are open or do not close when tapped. These clams are not safe to eat as they may be dead or spoiled.

Step 4: Clean the Shells

Using a small knife, carefully run it along the length of each shell to remove the membrane. Be cautious not to cut into the clam itself. Cleaning the shells will make it easier to remove the clam from the shell later.

Step 5: Remove the Sand Sac

Locate the siphon (the extension of the clam) and gently pull it out. Attached to the siphon, you’ll find a small sac that contains sand or grit. Carefully remove this sac without breaking it to avoid spreading the sand onto the clam.

Step 6: Rinse and Repeat

After removing the sand sac, give the cannolicchi a final rinse under running water to ensure they are completely clean. Repeat the cleaning process for each clam.

Step 7: Your Cannolicchi are Ready!

Once you’ve cleaned all the cannolicchi, they are now ready to be cooked using your favorite recipe. Enjoy the delicious flavors of these beautifully cleaned razor clams!
