What mixed-species cooked clams mean
The label mollusks, clam, mixed species, cooked, moist heat is an aggregated USDA category. It does not identify one species, harvest location or restaurant recipe. Moist heat can include steaming or simmering, and the database value is for 100 g cooked clam meat. Shell weight, broth, butter and added salt are not automatically part of this reference amount.
Clam protein and nutrition per 100 g cooked
The record lists 148 kcal and 25.55 g protein per 100 g cooked. It also lists 1.95 g fat, 0.188 g saturated fat, 5.13 g carbohydrate, 0 g sugar and 0 g fiber. Minerals include 1,202 mg sodium, 2.81 mg iron, 628 mg potassium and 92 mg calcium; vitamin A is 171 mcg RAE and vitamin C is 22.1 mg. The sodium number is important context when clams are served with salted broth, sauces or packaged ingredients.
Cooking and seafood safety
Use clams from a reputable source and follow local shellfish advisories. Raw or undercooked shellfish can carry foodborne hazards; cook until the meat is firm and follow current seafood safety instructions. Keep the cooked portion separate from the cooking liquid when comparing it with this 100 g cooked-meat record.
Portions and practical use
The database note describes roughly half to three-quarters cup of cooked clam meat, but cup volume varies, so a scale is more precise. Clams can be added to pasta, soups or grain dishes; record the sauce and starch separately. Anyone with a shellfish allergy should avoid clams and check cross-contact information.
