I like Long Island littleneck clams, in soup, and to season fresh
codfish. I scrub them with a wire brush, then zap them open. Then I
carefully spoon out the broth, leaving any grit in the microwave dish.

If any of the clams have dirt inside, I can rinse them out. The
juice/broth gets added to the soup on the stove top, but only enough
to get the saltiness right.

When the soup is plated, the open clas get put in the soup bowls,
where they get heated.
