You can tell if a clam is alive by observing if its shell is tightly closed or slightly open. If the clam is alive, it will try to close its shell tight when handled. A dead clam will have a gaping, gaping, or broken shell.
I honestly do not know.
The largest shell in the Philippines is the Tridacna gigas, also known as the giant clam. It can grow up to 4 feet in length and is a protected species due to its status as an endangered marine organism.
Basically you need a clam, and a piece of sand or shell to irritate it, put it in the clam and wait for (i don't know how long) and when the time is right open up the clam and receive your pearl.
You will see a clam.
If a clam does not open when cooked, that usually means the clam was dead before cooking. Do not eat clams that won't open when cooked. Make sure that the clams have plenty of space to open during the cook. Sometimes the weight on top will prevent opening.
Well why don't you just ask the clam!
