Default Cooking Frozen Clams

I am going to freeze a batch of live clams that I had sitting in my refrigerator before they go bad. When I steam them after I take them out of the freezer (they will be frozen probably about a week or two) how will I know if the clams are good or not? For example, if I steamed them when they were alive, the clams would open up and the ones that didn't are the ones you throw out. Is it the same for frozen clams?



Thanks!

Do not freeze clams in their shells.
