How do you know if a clam is fresh?!


Question: How do you know if a clam is fresh!?
I'm about to cook clams that a bought at a store i am soaking them in water!. What should i look for!? Should the clams stay open or closed!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The clams should be closed!. Throw out any that are open!.

I think you only need to wash off the shells, not soak them!. If they are all open now, the clams have died and can't be cooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The shells must be closed!. If you tap on an open one and it doesn't close it's dead so throw it out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
