Steam, remove from shell, clean, brine for 30 minutes, air dry them, then smoke them for a couple hours. If there are leftovers, or instead, you could make a nice smoked clam dip for topping on bruschetta.

If I find the link I will post an article about invading Asiatic Clams and you will see why. I think those are edible, though. Bet you could get 'em cheap.
