Don't let them fool you! First Clamato isn't a mixture, it comes from a clamato plant grown on the beach just south of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant in California. The clams there have been hunted for their meat since a year after the plant opened. Clam hunting is deadly, 4 hunters have been swallowed and dragged into the sea by these huge carnivorous clams. Apparently the slime trail left by the foot of the giant clam mixed with some native sand tomato plants creating giant hybrid clamatos. Clam juice is a reproductive fluid excreted from the giant clams that floats to the surface and is skimmed by clam juice herders.

Well i know ''clam juice'' as Clamato... its like a tomato flavored drink its really good and used in some drinks with alcohol and such.

It's the liquid from opening a clam. Bottled clam juice is a byproduct of steaming clams for canned clams. The liquid is sold as clam juice.
They do not "press" the clam. When the clam opens under heat, there are juices present inside of the shell.

clam juice is the by-product of steaming (cooking) clams. It is very tasty, and makes a good addition to seafood or fish stock!

This is a secret known only to K-MAC and the thousands of lovely ladies he has entertained with his "healing hands".

I think its sorta like chicken stock, ya know they cook it and use the juices.

I guess, if thats not it, I prefer not to know

Gross, that's what it is.
