Opening & Cleaning Pismo Clams | Shucking Clams

This video shows how to open and clean Pismo clams. After catching the clams, we let them soak in ocean water overnight. The clams will spit out some of the sand, but not all of it. After cutting open the clam, we rinse out the remaining sand, shuck it, cut out the undesirable parts, then pack it.

    Thank you 🙏 I’m not so sure about the DFG info as I’m sure there have been at least a few legal size clams taken from Pismo Beach.

    @@ryeginliving2664 I thought I’d let you know that I went clamming at Pismo Beach this morning and got my limit within one hour. They are very plentiful and there is a lot of almost legal ones. You just have to make sure to bury them so they can grow just a little bit more. It was fantastic, and your video is very good about cleaning them

    Hi Rye and Ginger, I love your clamming videos. They look delicious! BTW, I heard that you can eat them raw. Is that true?

    Thank you 🙏 Brianko18. Pismo clams are delicious raw. I first freeze them after shucking. In prepping for sashimi, I cut away and only serve the adductor muscles and foot.

    Hi KhammySutra. Pismo clams freeze well. We usually store them for up to a year with no problems. Thank you for watching!

    Perhaps Oceano, however, most of the clams are undersized. Still lots of fun!
