Bake as directed on clam shells, or bake in a casserole dish and use as a dip with crackers.
If you've purchasing clams, keep them in the refrigerator covered with a damp, wet towel. If you have dug up your clams, keep them covered with cool sea water in a bucket. Throw away any cracked or broken clams.
