Nikki, Its my understanding, (Meaning I havent done this yet, and I'm hoping I dont have to.) that you can cut the byssal threads that connect the clam to what its bound to. The trick is to cut the byssal threads as far away from the clam as possible. If you damage the Byssus or byssal gland, the clam dies. So generally, its something I would probably avoid if possible. But I believe it can be done. Barry would probably know.
