How to choose
Look for clams with tightly closed shells; live ones should close when tapped gently. Avoid cracked or damaged shells and any that emit an off‑odor.
How to store
Store live clams on ice in the refrigerator, covered with a damp cloth, and use within 1–2 days. After cleaning, they can be frozen in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.
