Yep, they're tough. But you slice 'em thin, or you tenderize them with a hammer, and they're fine.

Raw clam? Nooo. That's not for me. But fried, or in chowder? Delicious!

The texture isn't dissimilar to abalone, if that helps. You see one of the parties in the article referring to the clams' "crunchy" texture. Crunchy isn't the right word since it is sort of an INTERNAL crunchiness, but I can't think of a better way of putting it.

Wow, they are HUGE!

The smaller ones are known as piss-clams, don't know if that applies to these babies?

Are they tough?

I only like chowder clams for chowder & the little necks in pasta. I don't like them raw.
Oysters are the only shellfish I'll eat raw. clo
