[@thanhdo5591]

Do u have soak them in saltwater for a couple of days so they spit out the sand. Because thats what we have to do when we catch them in australia

[@SAnetnews]

No, surprisingly they seem to spit out the sand fairly readily when they are collected.

[@haechannie282]

Oh thanks, we caught a lot at the beach today

[@jasonnewmark3403]

How do you clean them properly? So that you don't have sand in them?

[@justinetehiwi8943]

If you leave them overnight in bucket of sea water they will spit the sand out

[@vincentq3118]

Great

[@loteofoia7229]

They're called pipis

[@hawaiianbeasts8937]

Where can you find them

[@haechannie282]

HAWAIIAN BEASTS At the beaches, just dig into the sand and you'll find one or two. If you want, you can wait until the waves wash the sand away and look for a while shell then pull it out.

[@tanenepata2106]

I thought those were tuatuas

[@TheAntea]

I'll show you a very easy method of finding them......:-)

[@leonscheepers5350]

use a knife

[@grahameviner2835]

If you do that in west wales you.ll have a freindly Weaver fish on the bottom of your foot and then you'll know it 🥵
