How to Clean Clams

Chefs Joanne Chang and Karen Akunowicz from Myers + Chang in Boston, show us how to clean clams the right way. If you're not already a fan of clams, there are several hurdles to overcome on the path to appreciation. They have a reputation for being rubbery and sometimes gritty, they can seem daunting to prepare, and much like crabs, they even suffer from negative word association.
Clams are not overly chewy when they're properly cooked, are never gritty when properly cleaned, and they're not difficult to work with once you know how.
