I got excited to find out my friends family vacation home is on a river where a ton of delicious clams live. TI caught a bunch of live clams, then hastily put the whole lot in a bag of water and threw that in the freezer while making dinner with my friends.

I didn't realize that freezing them would kill them and make it impossible to purge them.

Is the whole lot spoiled now? Is there still some way to eat them?

    If you cant eat them, bury them in the garden like I did with the fish I forgot in the back of the van. The plants above those fish are very happy.

There’s no way to make a dead clam purge sand etc.

You can always try to cook a few and see how gritty they really are, then decide. You may be lucky and find that they have a good mouthfeel, or you may find out that your entire catch inedible and needs to be discarded.
