About two-thirds of a surf clam’s shucked weight is viable for human consumption.The meat of the clam is used as strips, for chowder or sushi. The “tongue” of the clam is commercially valuable because it is cut into long strips which are breaded and fried. The meat that is left over is separated from the “belly” and is referred to as “salvage” within the clam industry. “Salvage” is typically ground up for use in chowders, sauces, and dips, and is commercially available either in cans or frozen.
