Hoi-som is shelled venus clam meat salted 3 to 1 by weight, mixed with rice-washing water and a little sugar and left to ferment for 3 days. The starch and sugar feed lactic acid bacteria, so the white meat turns sour as well as salty.

Amounts from a sourceMeat-to-salt ratio of 3:1 by weight from the JIRCAS database of Thai fermented foods (after The Traditional Fermented Foods of Thailand, 1995). The rice water and sugar have no fixed amounts.

Hoi-som is shelled venus clam meat salted 3 to 1 by weight, mixed with rice-washing water and a little sugar and left to ferment for 3 days. The starch and sugar feed lactic acid bacteria, so the white meat turns sour as well as salty. Made in 5 steps over 3 days. The longest step, ferment, takes 3 days (JIRCAS 1995). Salt is 25 % (JIRCAS 1995). Pediococcus halophilus does most of the fermenting.
Hoi-som is the only one of the Thai shellfish ferments that adds rice-washing water and sugar, so it sours like plaa-som. Hoi-kraeng-dorng and hoi-siap-dorng are cured whole in fish sauce instead.
The Thai community product standard for pickled shellfish (หอยดอง) covers shellfish pickled with seasonings, giving salt, brine, fish sauce, white soy sauce and vinegar as examples. It does not name hoi-som, which is soured in rice-washing water. For the pickled shellfish it covers, the standard requires no Salmonella in 25 g, no Staphylococcus aureus in 0.1 g, no Clostridium perfringens in 0.01 g, E. coli below 3 MPN per gram and no more than 100 mould colonies per gram, and bans preservatives and synthetic colours. The method has no cooking step. In a survey of 335 fresh fish and shellfish samples from Bangkok markets, 59 % carried Vibrio parahaemolyticus, with the highest share (78 %) in blood cockle. The survey sampled shrimp, oysters, blood cockles and seabass, not venus clams or hoi-som. The authors name V. parahaemolyticus and Salmonella as leading causes of foodborne diarrhoea in Thailand.
