- Reading: How do I frighten my clams?
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.

Same way you activate your almonds

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

Why would you shoot a clam before throwing it into boiling water?
