Clams
First meal in a long time I was totally unhappy with, tried some clams and they just were tough and not enjoyable at all to eat, not sure I'd try them again to be honest. I like clams have had them many times but I didn't like these. I cooked so many as I had planned to vacuum seal the leftovers for future meals like alfredo or marinara etc.

Brother they look great. What did you not like about them?

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
They do look great, but I don't know how well they would take to vac-sealing.

If they were tough, I would suspect that they may have been cooked a little too long.
They do look good. -
They were tough, I pulled them as soon as they opened wide, which is what they said to do in all the videos I watched, but it was my first time cooking them so maybe so.
I was going to vacuum seal the meat only not the shell, and use in sauces for pasta later, it may or may not have worked.Tommy

Mahoganies are tough by nature.
Even raw
just their style[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -
I'm not a clam expert (but I am a oyster expertGRN96WS6 said:They were tough, I pulled them as soon as they opened wide,
) and the few times that I have cooked them they were defiantly more "rubbery" than oysters. To help remedy this a little, I chop them into little pieces. Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The larger the clam, the tougher it is. The larger ones are usually chopped up and used for chowder or other dishes.
To a certain degree, they get a bit tougher if you cook more, although not as much as mussels or squid.
I'd try them raw, if they're tough, they'll only get worse cooking so you can only really enjoy by chopping and making chowder or something.
I usually test cook one or two before committing to an entire batch. Figure out what they are.

Try cockles if you can find them, or even littlenecks.

@NPHuskerFL that's mesmerizing

I have egged those very same clams from Cedar Key many times. You may have left them on a little too long.
I always cook them in some sort of liquid, whether white wine and garlic or a tomato based sauce.
Check out this post if you want to see one way I made them, with pics.
