I followed all the tricks: put the shells in salted water for a total of 3 hours. I put the shells in cold water with a good amount of salt (I think, like pasta water ). Left it sitting in fridge. After first 30 min I switched out the water and I continued to do so. After about 5 rinces and activally cleaning and brushing the shells there still was a considerable amount of sand in the bottom of the bowl, but I had to use them for dinner by this time. The pasta came out great but annoying af to get sand in our otherwise excellent (and expensive!) produce.

Any other tips? Are vongole especially sandy?
