Can I freeze fresh clams with the clam juice?

It is not recommended to freeze fresh clams with their clam juice. The freezing process can cause the clams to lose their texture and flavor, and the clam juice may become cloudy or develop an off flavor. Additionally, freezing clams with their juice can make them more susceptible to bacterial contamination.

If you want to freeze clams, it is best to shuck them first and then freeze them in an airtight container with a little bit of water. You can also freeze cooked clams in a similar manner. When you are ready to use the clams, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then drain them before using.
