I've been tapping the shells with a plastic spoon, but I don't think it's working. It's frightening some sort of cooking process?

Use an airhorn or put them on your hood and honk

>How do I frighten my clams?
Drop one into a pot of boiling water while the others are watching.
I might have an air horn in the garage.
See, here's a properly frightened clam, or so I've been told.
Frightening gets the blood rushing and makes for more flavor activation when boiling. Note the red color. This is from the adrenaline rush causing blood to surge through the clam.

He's frightening them, not cooking them.
>>7068755
Same way you activate your almonds
>>7068755
tap them with a metal utensil. if they close it means they're frightened. if they still say open, they're dead and you should throw them away. never cook with dead shellfish
>>7068755
Sneak up behind them and yell "Boo!".

what if its a big clam?
Keep one alive, when you get a new batch introduce the shell shocked one to them, he'll tell them what you did to his brothers
>>7068755
Did you mean to post in that shitpost thread that probably doesn't exist anymore?
>>7069075
Why would you shoot a clam before throwing it into boiling water?
>>7070384
What would happen if I took off your shell?
>>7070386
It would be extremely painful.
