I see many Instagram videos where chefs just shuck the shellfish while it’s still alive. Obviously I’ve had clams and oysters in the States before, freshly shucked. What are the food guidelines here?

Of course it’s safe. Anything is edible

Do it at your own risk
You have to be good at cleaning and process it
It’s very simple , just make sure there’s no worm or eggs

Depends where and when harvested. If it’s monitored waters for vibrio, sewage and biotoxin, then fine, otherwise you’re rolling the dice.
Edit: Although, “surf” clams are often dredged from the sea bottom, so if they’re not dead, probably ok.

I wouldn’t recommend eating raw seafood from Asian supermarkets

How can anyone tell from looking at a photo?
