About Clam juice

Clam juice is the strained liquid obtained from clams during cooking or processing, commonly sold bottled or canned as a cooking ingredient. It is used to add a briny seafood flavour to soups, sauces, stews and other savoury preparations. Commercial products may be filtered and may contain salt or other ingredients, so the name alone does not establish a single formulation.

The liquid is usually clear to lightly cloudy, pale and thin, with a pronounced salty, ocean-like clam flavour. It is distinct from clam meat and from a finished clam broth containing additional ingredients. Products and homemade cooking liquid can differ in concentration, salinity and processing.
