BTW... what do you cold water soak ppl think the cornmeal does anyway? They
are not feeding on it. It does nothing to a dying clam. Another suggestion
I've read is to put pepper in the cold water. Still another joke.

Most "sand" on clams and oysters is not inside. It's either on the outside
of the shell (and expecially in the crevasse where the two shell halves
meet. Or it's bit of shell from opening with a knife.
