You got them soaking in a bucket of sea water! If not, they will be full of sand. I've got one for mussels, that would be suitable if wanted.

Sea water is better, and changed 1 or 2 times, they tend not to open in fresh water, as they live in sea water. Put some scrunched up mesh or similar in bottom of bucket so the bottom pipis aren't sucking in sand again. If they are not cleared of sand, its hardlyworth cooking them, sand in fritters is not appetising.

40 pipi or 1 c pipi meat, 1/2 c self raising flour, 1/2 red onion finely chopped, 1 tsp lemon rind, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 1/4 c soda water or beer. Remove meat from shells and roughly chop. Sift flour into bowl with onion, rind, parsley and salt & pepper. Mix in chilli sauce, soda and pipis. Heat butter and oil in pan and cook heaped tspfuls over medium heat till golden on both sides.
