While some hard-shelled crabs are shipped alive, the larger portion of the catch is sold as crab meat, fresh, frozen, or canned. Clams are used in much smaller amounts than the other shellfish mentioned. The soft, long-necked clams prevail from Cape Cod north, and the hard or little-neck clams south of Cape Cod along the coast to Texas. Soft-shell clams live in the tidal sand, while the hard-shell varieties live from the tide lines into fairly deep water. The production is not large, about 30,000,000 pounds a year. The whole fish is shipped fresh, unshucked, to near-by areas, and clams are canned, chopped for use in chowder, and as clam juice, so that they can be distributed widely. Scallops are available in limited amounts. Only the large muscle that opens and closes Tables XLV, XLVI, and XLVIII have been adapted from tables in 'Nutritive Value of Fish and Shellfish , Document No. 1000, Bureau of Fisheries, Washington, D.C., 1926. 2Carbohyd rates present but undetermined. the shell is used, and the remainder of the fish is discarded. Scallops are available fresh or frozen. They are sweet owing to the presence of large amounts of glycogen. Shrimps are produced from the Carolinas south and along the Gulf coast. They are distributed in the shell, fresh or green, and cooked with the shell whole or split to remove the sand vein. COMPOSITION AND NUTRITIVE VALUE
