Fishing 'How's It Done' By Fishing & Food Editor Renee Shelton How to Shuck and Clean Soft Shell Clams:
Preliminaries: Make sure all the clams are alive. Clean under cold water and proceed.
Cup a clam in the palm of hand with hinge toward thumb. Insert clam knife just above
(or below) the protruding neck and sever muscle. This attaches it to the shell.Remove the freed shell (top or bottom,
which ever one was attached to the muscle you severed) and slide clam knife under the clam to loosen it from the shell.To skin neck:
Pull off and discard skin that covers the neck (it is blackish in color). Remove the membrane that trails around the edge of the shell.
