Clams for chowder need not be the best your local seafood market carries.
I do reccommend staying away from the canned variety though. If you can,
find a store that carries fresh sea clams. They are very large so request
shucked and possibly chopped. I cannot reccommend a recipe, I've only
had to pickup the clams and drink beer whilst they were being prepared.
As for other ways of eating the little guys try
- Fried
- Raw(mucho cocktail sauce helps)
- Baked
- In dips(good way to get rid of any leftovers)
- And oh yes steamed, especially if you can get fresh little ipswich
clams dug somewhere like monomoy island, chatham, cape cod.
If you get any please send some to this displaced new englander!!
Clams make you live longer, oysters make you last longer..

In response to Linda Carson, you clean clams by soaking them in cold water
sprinkled with a handful of cornmeal for about an hour, drain them and rinse
with cold water.
I love clams best simply steamed over high heat in a water/wine liquid for
about five or six minutes then dipped into the steaming liquid and melted butter However, also good are clams sauteed with mushrooms and shallots finished withwith wine and tossed gently in the pan with fresh cooked rice and chopped
parsley. This works equally well with fresh mussels if you can get them.
Does anyone have a good recipe for chili made with roast beef instead of
hamburger. I used to be able to get it when I lived in Oregon and want to make
some at home.
Thanks in advance!
