Rec scalloping is allowed as part of the "shellfish permit" in many towns (check, your mileage may vary) but the limits are almost always different than clams.
I shuck mine right away and eat some that night, some raw while shuck
and I vacuum pack in dinner size portions for my family and freeze.
They freeze OK but you should eat them as fast as you can. Usually that is not a problem, one of my favorite foods.
