A third voice that freezing feeder fish wouldn't be an adequate method of killing microorganisms on or in fish. Many microorganisms can survive freezing quite readily. There is also the problem with thiamine levels of frozen fish.

As for canned clams, yes, they are cooked. All canned foods are heat treated to prevent the growth of microorganisms (like Clostridium botulinum.)
