Clams are just ok….prefer mussels and oysters. But a traditional linguine and clams is pretty tasty.

If something tasted too salty my grandma would add raw potato chunks to absorb the salt. If the recipe called for potatoes, she would taste, and pull the chunks if still too salty and add new fresh potato chunks. If the recipe didn’t call for potatoes, they would just be discarded.

Was stoked to see this episode, even if the chowder is made with cream :-) I grew up on creamy clam chowder living in CT and frequenting the CT and RI shores, but came to love and regularly make dishwater clam chowder. Was introduced (indoctrinated) to the no-cream version at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough in Noank, CT. Thanks for the recipe and your memories.

@anniecrawford5911 6 ай бұрын

Loved this. Learned a lot. Being from Minnesota we do not have fresh clams available. Understanding all the steps ( & the why’s) really helped me understand what will make this such a balanced soup. Can’t wait to make this for my Mom. Thank you so much for sharing this childhood favorite.

Clam digging in New England (where I'm from) was fun, so watching you brought back great memories. In Colorado, supermarkets sell clams by the each, so I'll buy a few fresh clams and then use canned clams to stretch out the quantity for chowder or my favorite, stuffed clams. I save and reuse large Quahog shells for stuffed clams. I really miss Connecticut shoreline clam shacks.
