Chocolates...
Recently acquired a sizable helping of chocolate clams in trade with fisherman near Santo Domingo (assuming chocolates - covered in a sorta
chocolate-y colored algae, meat bright red). However, all attempts at purging went south and several opened before eaten.
Any tips? Is it best to just eat ASAP and ignore grains of sand? Does corn starch help? If there an ideal temp for purging water (and does it have
to be salted)?

simplest way to prep clams is put clams in bucket of seawater for a while, a while being anything from a few hours to overnight. maintain water temp
so clams are happy. happy clams will spit out their sand pretty quick.

Happy clams??? Stop it......please. 
Here's some purging info just for you, Goat. 
Purging Symptoms
Purging behavior is as important a bulimia symptom as binge eating. Purging describes any behavior used to counteract the calories consumed while
binge eating. Some goats describe purging as a method of regaining control of themselves after binge eating.
Purging often takes the form of self-induced vomiting, either by pressing hoofs to the back of the throat or using ipecac syrup. Scars and calluses on
the back of the knuckles develop due to long term self-induced vomiting, and some bulimics learn to vomit automatically after eating.
Acid from vomit eventually destroys dental enamel, causing multiple dental cavities and a sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
Other methods of purging include abusing laxatives (sometimes consuming up to fifty laxative pills a day), and misusing diuretics, enemas, and diet
pills. Abusing laxatives and other medication while purging can have serious health effects.
Goats should adhere to a systemic purge cleanse especially after consuming all of the loaded, disposable diapers from the Gigante parking lot. Good
health requires a constant effort.

Chocolates...From a previous clam recipe post...
....Chocolate Erotica...'Baja-patented' by my good friend, Johnny Tequila.
Eat em raw like this...We cut up some roma tomatoes, some red marinated onion, sprinkle with fresh grated Romano, squeeze some fresh lime on them to
make 'em wiggle and pop down the hatch...
...or bake 'em on the grill or campfire for 1 minute to melt the cheese and have Baja Pizza.
Here we are having some aboard JT's trimaran, Quetzal. Muy sabrosa.
.
Bon Appetite!
try them at El Patrons...the old Almeja by the lighthouse, now run by Tim and Lilly. They use an old recipe Johnny Tequila showed Ramon when he was
still alive..(Ramon, that is, JT is still kicking up in Utah.) "Choco-lah-tay Erotica." Simply delicious on the grill with some chopped onions, tomato
bits, cheese, garlic bread crumbs, and tobasco. Yummy with a Pacifico on the seaside tables. The steamers are tender too, with some buttery sauce.
Reminds me of an old friend, Jean Pierre, a French Algerian who ran the Hacienda Hotel and adjoining Casablanca Cafe some years ago. (Where the
Pelican Reef was and is now vacant..again.)
Nicknamed 'The Golden Piccolo' by Mulege townspeople, Jean Pierre was quite the ladykiller and liked to eat the ' Eroticas.' He would often tell me
that he had eaten a dozen the night before,... "..but only eleven worked!" He was held in awe by us mortals.
.
Remember, digging shellfish is illegal. 
Find about 6-8 'washed-up-but-alive' chocolates per person. Slice them in half...carefully slipping your blade between the halves. Scrape out the
siphon and discard (black stuff).
Then, cut around the shell to loosen all the meat from shell...leave half in each open half-shell.
Add to each half: chopped onions, tomatoes, a squeeze of lime, a drop of tobasco, and shake liberal Parmesan cheese over the top.
.
(Note: You will see the 'foot' of the chocolate curl and an try to attack you when squeezing the lime juice on..this is a sign of a nice fresh
'washed-up-clam'. When swallowing this foot will try to grab your tonsils and hold on, but just swallow real hard and it releases.)
Grill on hot grate until cheese melts...let cool while opening a cold Pacifico ...and let eat right from the shell. Absolutely delicious.
And better than Viagra...so JT says.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
