You don't have to. Canned clams are already cooked, but I would advise to not eat them plain, unless you are just cool like that. (;

Only if you want to. Seriously, though, they taste better if you do.

You should always rinse canned clams when cooking, or they may be salty and gritty. Also canned clams often have a slimy residue.
