Usually sir sa palengke, medyo nilinis na nila. Just wondering if there's any way, visually, to know if they'll taste good. In some instances, me nakain akong me aftertaste na gasolina :confused:

For halaan, soak them in water but not necessarily salt water for them to spit out the sand....

OT for oysters, we scrub the shell...[/QUOTE]
