Did you ever open a clam and clean it before serving raw?? No Body I know eats the bellies.
The bellies are full of Yuck. You do not use the bellies when making liquini with clam sauce. You only use the clam meat.
If you were from New England you'd know. Fried clams without bellies are basically breaded rubber bands. Fried clams are great, but the grease does get to you. I prefer steamers
