The tissue around the edges of the shell will draw back and the meaty substance of the animal will deteriorate. You can also do the smell test, though be prepared. Same works with snails. Remove from water and sniff. If you nearly regurgitate then it is deceased.

What does a clam look like?
If you shine a flashlight or some other light inside the crack then you will see what looks like the light and dark pieces of turkey that you eat on Thanksgiving but it also looks like the fish meat after you cut the skin off. This would be the inside of a clam and if you turn the clam upside down and dirt comes out then that means that the clam is dead and the dirt used to be the meat or if it's heavy then it has meat in it. If it isn't heavy then it's dead. 1 last thing DON'T EAT IT IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH!!! If you want to find out if it's safe to eat then just go to the place to where you type in websites and just type in e-how.com and type in how can you tell if a clam is good to eat and it should tell you
