On large conch shells and various big clams, we suspended them over a
bucket of salt water.
They shed their shell and were found in the water. Easier cleaning that

plenty of Asian men on the island that gladly picked up them for a
weekend feast. They grew
their own spices for the most part on a plot of land in the construction
area. Kwajalein in the 60's.
