Shucked

Shucked clams are meats removed from the shell—sold fresh on ice, canned, or frozen—for chowders, fritters, and sauces when shell presentation is not needed. Quality varies: top shops shuck to order; industrial packs may be brine-packed. Chop for chowder or leave whole if small. Rinse only if gritty; save any liquor. Cook briefly to avoid rubberiness. Check smell—clean marine, never sour.
