    I just scrub the shells with a brush under running water before cooking. I never do anything else. There always a little sand in the pan so I either spoon off the juice or pour it real slow leaving the grit behind.

    Another batch of stones. The marsh is rather depleted here. Very few little necks. If it falls through the hole in the gauge it is under sized. Not too many Needed measuring. I have three worthy of grilling and serving with butter. Need to dig real deep and you pull up some big ones. Definite sause material.

    And disposal. I can't believe how long it took me to figure this one out. About 10 years.
