I've wondered about this before. What exactly is "clam juice"? Is
this what you get out if you squeeze clams hard enough? Or is this
produced by soaking shelled clams in water or another liquid? If
the latter, do you grind the clams up as you do with almonds in
making almond milk?

We've got mountain oysters here but not too many clams...
