How do you make clams not chewy?

Cook until the clams open, about 5 to 10 minutes, but certainly no more than 15 minutes. Take the clams out of the pot as they open. Overcooking clams will make them tough and rubbery so the sooner you can get them out the better. Just put them in a bowl to catch any liquid that might run out of them.

How do you tenderize bar clams?

Light Pounding. Hammering away at clam meat with a chef's mallet physically disintegrates the protein fibers in the same way as tenderizing a steak. To protect the clam's integrity, lay the strips of meat between plastic wrap to avoid splattering the surface, and use the smooth side of the mallet.

How do you keep clams fresh overnight?

And What About Storing Them? Because clams must be allowed to breathe to stay alive, store them in a single layer, covered with a damp cloth in the fridge (40ºF), and use them as soon as possible—definitely within two days. Never store clams covered or sealed in plastic.
