Open a clam the proper and safe way. It's easy to enjoy raw quahogs if you know how to shuck a quahog properly. Living in New England, this is how we open up clams, known as quahogs, in the summer time. Enjoy these raw with lemon or lime, hot sauce or cocktail sauce.

Wow, I grew up on the water shucking clams from probably age 9. Never did the hinge side open. I'm going to try it. Looks like it works well. Thx!!

Squeeze some lime or lemon juice. You can also open it up but a little butter, garlic powder and broil them on toaster oven or bbq grill

Great video. They can be opened safely from the front. Look on the one side of the clam and you can see a slight groove. Clam knife slides right in

In New England is never done that, nor anywhere else I ever been too.

Fantastic video! Thank you. How would you open them and then cook them in the half shell like oysters?

That is not the way to open them. You cut the clam in half and all the guts looks like hell. You open the clam from the front and slide the knife in and cut the two mussels. Cocktail sauce and lemon. I know what I'm talking about I grew up in New England and have opened many hundreds of these clams.

99.9% of all restaurants in NE open them this way. I have yet to see the other .1 opened any other way.
