The ones I've purchased frozen to make Paella for my sister and brother
in law (they love it!) were not in the shell.

That worked fine. :-)

I have, however, purchased fresh frozen whole clams and used them in
soup, shell and all.

The shells DID open on all of them.

The shells made a very nice presentation and neither dad nor I minded
them.

And no, we did not eat the shells. <G> I don't think anybody's teeth are
THAT good!

Next time I do a mixed seafood chowder, I'll be sure to take jpegs. ;-)
