A co-worker and good friend of mine thirty some years ago made the best clam chowder I have ever had. He was a Navy brat and serving in the USAF with me. He made the tastiest, most decadent clam chowder I have ever had. I would love a bowl of it right now, oh well. Time moves on. Thanks for the memories Shawn.
You must be good luck because I found a pearl in one of the clams I used😍😍😍 they were way bigger so I only used 6 but wow. God is SO good!! So amazed and blessed. Hopefully people like the chowder!!
I want you to know that, I intended to make clam chowder on Sunday dinner, so Sat I went claming and got some nice clams with a scratch rake, in the new river, in Sneads Ferry, NC took them home rinsed them off and put them in the fridg until Sunday and found your recipe and used it and it was wonderful! to say the least, Thank you, for sharing and giving your time to help others, God bless you and, your family.
I just dug some clams and will be doing a chowder for dinner tomorrow night. I like to keep my fresh clams in fresh water and they will byvalve themselves over night and most of the sand will be gone but still wash and rinse the meat and strain the liquor. I too will add the clams at the end. I also grab a few oysters 2 or 3 and cook them also with the ckams. I take half the clams (25) or so with the oysters and blender them to a puree and add that to the clam liquor and reduce to about 3 cups. Mostly the same recipe...but I'll poach a piece of spring salmon and a piece of halibut....some spot prawns and scallops and will add them all towards the end. I also will use a half of a fresh corn on the cob and the ravens get the rest. Don't really need to thicken as the salmon and halibut thicken it up. I like the way you explain so simple thank you for being so simple . From cortes island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Rubbery clams are nasty. The clam chowder in the chow hall in the USAF was always good. I am assuming they dumped it from a gallon can and added some spices! It was good, just as good as Red Lobster's used to be, better than Red Lobster's now. I wouldn't use their clam chowder for chum bait now, it is nasty.
I'd like to add the clams in at the last so they don't get chewy but I would mince them up and fry them first to ensure that they wouldn't I know it's got to be the same thing as when you cook salmon chunks for in a chowder too long they just get all spongy and everything
I heard, ? When , that the longer you cook the clams they get tough. Yes ? Or No ? I prefer adding them like you did but now I don't know exactly which is right ..I've never made this before so, I'd like your advice. Thank you. 😊
The longer you cook clams the chewier and more rubbery they get. Add them at the end and just heat through. Also, once the bacon was crispy it should have been removed from the pot with a slotted spoon and served on top of the bowl of soup. Not cooked with the oversized potatoes and cream. Talk about soggy bacon! No good cook would use cornstarch only to thicken a chowder or sauce. After she sauteed the onions and celery, flour should be added to make a roux. This sweet little girl doesn't really know how to cook, but I give her credit for trying.
I know this is an old video, but you never ever put clams in before everything else is cooked. The clams will be rubber and chewy. Clams always always go in last!
She has no clue the mistake she is making. NEVER rinse your clams with cold water after they have been steamed. She just lost half the clam flavor after rinsing!
Oh that enrages me when I get any sand or anything in my food that it's just unpleasant like undercooked meat or whatever (yes, seriously) having a nice well cooked meal should be the whole point any more seems theyve largely quit using quality ingredients so you get all this stringy stuff and everything
Well, I guess you could always cook your own food or go to better quality restaurants! Buffets, truck stops, and cheap diners are really not known for quality food! If you are pay ten bucks or less for a full meal, you are going to get what you pay for.
@@ohioguy215 Yes, indeed, a good breakfast meat, or also good on a BLT at lunch. Personally I make a Bacon Avocado and Tomato sandwich on an English muffin. Yum! But please, leave it off the hamburger and out of the clams.

Excellent presentation
I will not eat this but my husband watched and wants me to make it for him.

Very clear, step by step, recipe. Thank you.
On the Pacific and hubby dug us some clams this am...thank you soooo much! We have all ingredients on board motorhome! God bless!
Great job, I'm going to get the ingredients for this and make it this week. Awesome!
excellent trick with the measuring cup!
Harvested a small bucket on my beach yesterday, let them 'spit' overnight and made chowder today. I'll keep this recipe around!
Thank you for sharing I will cook this for my family Christmas holiday
Enjoyed this recipe! Thanks
ALWAYS add cooked clams last, or they will be rubbery.

If you had been my school teacher, I would have been president.
OMG... That looks SO AMAZING!!
Awesome looking clam chowder I absolutely love clam chowder I'm definitely going to try this recipe! 👏
I hope you looked up a few different recipes. Otherwise, you're probably still chewing that bacon and the clams!! Lol 😂
Reduce the clam juice to two cups. Don’t dump it out.
absolutely. also don’t boil the clams to death. add last.
Look pretty easy thank you

Tysm, this was so helpful!
I made your chowder and it was delicious! Please share some other recipes. Thanks!!!!!
You can reduce clam sauce for a richer clam taste.
Looks really good. Thank you
Glad I found this recipe for live clams. So what’s the difference between using corn starch or flour for a thickener ?
2 flour = 1 cornstarch. I tried cornstarch...flour worked better for me in the rue.
I just finish making this video, it's was really good!
" Dump the extra clam juice? " I hope you didn`t mean throw it away
i thought it was perfect before you added the corn starch, also, i would add the clams last, you don't want to over cook them.
Thank you☺️
How many servings does this recipe make? I'm trying to serve 8 to I was thinking of doubling the recipe. Would that be way too much?
By the time you load the clams 3 at a time, let them cool, wash them one by one and cut them up.....it's tomorrow.
Lol. So true. 😅

Notice how she didn't answer your question...
@@heidid5275 well aren’t you kind!
Feel free to add the additional clam juice. It may no be 'to recipe', but it is simply more to eat. Waste to toss it actually
Done dikit,elisa capitle i2
Because she added the clams before she added the potatoes Lthe clams will be overcooked and become rubbery. 😾
So true...I've never eaten flavored car tires.
I know this is an old video, but you never ever put clams in before everything else is cooked. The clams will be rubber and chewy. Clams always always go in last!
You dumped out all that extra clam juice? Screw the measurements. That juice is liquid gold! Major fail.
Watching elisa Capitle i2
Your soaking up the clam broth. Also later with meal drink the broth. Dont trow it out
This looks good, a few things can be simplified. But to put this lovely soup in a plastic bowl does not do justice to the cooking and the mussels.
She has no clue the mistake she is making. NEVER rinse your clams with cold water after they have been steamed. She just lost half the clam flavor after rinsing!
Nice, but, you should of let the clams sit in water to expel any sand. Washing them is washing off flavor .

Why does everybody ruin this dish with bacon? Dont like the flavor of clams?
I agree 100%. But not everyone uses bacon...I don't. Bacon is for breakfast with two over easy eggs and a toasted slice of Hawaiian sweet bread.

@@radzewicz
I hear ya!
No bacon with clam chowder!
I feel like clams can’t cook more than 2 minutes especially if you cut it that small pieces…. 🤣🫠 also boiling it already make them half way cooked 🤣
