How do you know if your bivalves are alive? Immediately get rid of anything with broken or damaged shells. Clams and mussels shells should be slightly open, and should shut quickly when you tap on them. If they're closed, don't shut, or float in water, they're dead....

Clams are still alive when you freeze them and when thawed come back to life. That is how they live under water in the winter. They will be as good frozen as if you bought them from the seafood store. You can tell, once thawed, if they bounce back like a freshly shucked clam....

Frozen clams certainly would be killed, and so wouldn't open upon steaming. The thing about never refreeze is almost certainly a palatability issue, not a safety issue, as long as they stay in the safe zone (under 40 degrees F) and are not unfrozen for very long--but clams are highly perishable....

Instructions
September 4, 2022, 03:08, asked: Jesse Schkura
Go buy sea salt — actual sea salt, not rock salt, not iodized salt — and dissolve 35 grams of it (about 2 tablespoons plus another teaspoon) into each 1000 grams of non-chlorinated water, which is about 1 liter. You'll need enough to submerge your clams....

To purge clams, they must be submerged in a saltwater solution of 1/3 cup salt mixed with 1 gallon water for 30 minutes, after which the water should be changed. This should be repeated two or three times. Alternatively, the clams can be left in a large amount of water overnight....

There would be clam chowder, steamers, mussels, corn on the cob, [and] coleslaw. You may have boiled potatoes. You may have potato salad. You may have macaroni salad....

Pair the linguine and sauce with an easy green salad with champagne vinaigrette. Another great side dish would be roasted asparagus with lemon! Lemony Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad from Kristina at Spabettie is a simple easy salad with great flavors that will pair well with this pasta dinner....

Talk to any clam lover and they'll tell you that the purest, most delicious, best-suited-to-summer way you can eat them is ice cold on the half shell....

When the fresh water is filtered, the clam pushes salt water and sand out of their shells. After 20 minutes, the clams will have cleaned themselves of much of the salt and sand they have collected. Do not store live shellfish in water for longer than this, otherwise they will begin to die.”...
