Vegetable oil is often less expensive and works well for cooking.

Put salt in a bowl with cold water and stir.

Add the berberechos to the salted water and let them soak for at least one hour to help them open and filter out any sand.

After soaking, remove any berberechos that are floating as they will not open and are not edible.

Notice the water will be cloudy and some berberechos will be open after soaking.

Put a pot on high heat and add the drained berberechos without adding any water.

Cover the pot and shake it gently to help the berberechos open while cooking.

Cook the berberechos for two minutes; they will open during this time and release their own water.

After two minutes, check if any berberechos remain closed; discard any that are closed as they are not safe to eat.

Transfer the cooked berberechos to a plate and serve with lemon for squeezing over them.
