The classic method as everyone growing up on Long Island learned. Or maybe even growing up in Jersey.

 

@liuzhou - are those clams fresh or salt water clams? Because here, in Chinatown, I never see hard-shell clams (e.g. little necks, cherry stones, top necks) stored in water, but rather on ice. I think on the rare occasion when I have seen water, it's running, so they're not actually submerged in it.

 

They are saltwater clams from Beihai near the Tonkin Gulf on the border with China and Vietnam. The second image in the relevant recipe shows them in the market. The water is usually running but although the water is shallow they are submerged.
