Today's recipe can be safely included in the heading "one and a half people": this is how I estimate the number of people to whom it can be useful, although others, of course, may also be interested. It's about how to cook. sea trumpeter- an edible mollusk in beautifully shaped shells, which is popular in our Far East, France, and the Caribbean.
Recipes on the Internet contain a lot of advice that the trumpeter needs to be removed from the sink, cleaned, but this, in my opinion, is unnecessary trouble: in France, for example, the trumpeter is served boiled in shells, after which they are taken out and watered lemon juice or dipped in mayonnaise, and if you do not eat trumpeters every day in the morning, afternoon and evening, this way of eating these clams will be optimal in terms of taste and labor costs.
How to cook sea trumpeter
How to cook a trumpeter? Recipes on the Internet contain advice that the trumpeter needs to be removed from the shell, cleaned, but we will talk about the method of cooking these clams that will be optimal in terms of taste and labor costs - unless, of course, you eat them every day and have time in order tired of their taste.

We will proceed from the fact that you collected the trumpeters with your own hands (like me) or bought them chilled. In this case, the first thing you need to do is take a saucepan or large bowl of clean water, add salt and stir until dissolved. Water in salinity should be about the same as sea water. Dip the trumpeters into it and leave them in a cool place for several hours: during this time, the clams will be cleaned of sand and other garbage that we do not need.

At this stage, having taken out a pot with trumpeters resting in it, I was shocked that the water acquired a purple hue a few hours later, but then I remembered that purple dye had been extracted from gastropods since antiquity, and calmed down. For faster and better purification, water can be changed several times.
Transfer the trumpeters to a pot of clean salted water, place over heat, bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover, allowing the clams to cook off the residual heat. You can also add herbs, spices and other aromatic components to the water, but all this, again, only makes sense if the taste of the trumpeter itself has already bothered you properly.
Once the water in the pot has cooled, cool the trumpeter and refrigerate (for a short time) or serve immediately. Before serving, remove the trumpeters from the shells with a toothpick and use a knife to remove the lid - a thin plate that serves as the trumpeter's "door" to his home. Is there anything else that needs to be removed? Opinions vary on this, but it's a matter of personal preference. Once you have decided on them, sprinkle the clam with lemon juice, season with freshly ground black pepper and serve with cold white.
