How to properly store clams: place immediately in fridge and cover with a damp towel. Do not allow to sit in standing water. Avoid rough handling. They’ll stay optimally fresh for raw consumption for 2-3 days from harvest and 7-10 days for cooked consumption.
How to properly shuck clams: use a clam knife to shuck from the bill. Once inside, sever the abductor muscle on both sides. Alternatively, they can be frozen and thawed, or heated in the oven, until they open.
How to properly enjoy clams: anyway you want! Raw, grilled, baked, fried. Prior to cooking/shucking, discard any clams that don’t close when tapped. Purge clams (optional) by placing in brine (1/3 cup of salt:1 gal. of cold water) for 30 min. and repeating 2-3 times. Discard any clams that don’t open after cooking.
