About Clam meat

Clam meat is the edible soft tissue removed from clams, a group of bivalve shellfish. It is sold fresh, frozen, canned, or cooked, and used in seafood dishes, soups, sauces and fillings. The term covers multiple clam species and sizes, so it does not specify a single exact species or uniform product.

Cooked clam meat is typically tender to firm and slightly chewy, with a mild-to-briny flavour. Raw meat is softer and more translucent. Canned meat may be packed in liquid and can be chopped or whole; frozen products may be raw or cooked. Preparation and species affect texture and flavour.
