In the water
Clams (the salt water kind) live in the inter-tidal zone to shallow ocean. Fresh water clams live in the bottom of rivers or lakes.
Clams are not living. They are like rocks.
No, the manila clam is saltwater.
The clam has two siphons. The excurrent siphon (which expels water and waste out of the clam) and the incurrent siphon (which brings oxygen and food and water into the clam).
The original phrase was "happy as a clam at high tide." Clams live in the sand beneath the ocean. When the tide goes out, they are left without any water, and have to survive on what they store in their holes. So when the tide is high, a clam is happy and has plenty of water for food and oxygen.
To shuck a live soft shell clam, start by rinsing it under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Hold the clam in one hand with the hinge facing you and insert a clam knife or a sturdy flat knife into the gap between the shells. Gently twist the knife to pry the shells apart, then cut the muscle connecting the clam to the top shell. Finally, remove the top shell and carefully detach the clam from the bottom shell, ensuring not to spill the juices.
