canned clams?? i don't think so!

ok so i live on "the eyelant" and we can walk into the Great South Bay and harvest our own- or buy them at any fish market or on the docks

then when you shuck and chop your own you will collect enough juice so you may not need the bottled stuff

maybe if i wasn't able to get them fresh and live i would also use a can- but first i'd look for frozen clam bellies (not the breaded ones!)

and i'd cut the potatos way down- i'm not making potato chowdah

and i'd add a pinch- no more- of red pepper flakes to this recipe

oh my i'm salivating just thinking about this! yum yum
