Brook and I got the chance to go clamming on the Niantic River in Connectiocut. We loved it up in New England and what better way to celebrate some fresh clams, than making homemade clam chowder!

I can honestly say I have never seen a single one of your catch and cooks and not felt hungry afterwards and drooled all over my phone or pc. Quality content again brother 👌🔥🔥

I watched brook clam fishing cause I was waiting on how to make clam chowder. I found you by accident and joined you. Love you both. You should have shown when you changed the brine to clean them. Something I learned that I never knew. Thanks! Love clams but not oysters, go figure. Lol

Should try some fresh clams raw! they are delicious, and the texture is amazing! Super sweet and succulent.

I thought you were gonna eat those spider crabs

If you set live clams in clean salted water to purge its important to sprinkle in a little corn meal (food) which makes them cleaner.

Great presentation on the cooking of the chowder. I did not know you kept the gut sack to eat.

First time seeing a clam clean and cook 🤗🥰🤗

[robertrusso]

I love the fact that you said "chowder" and then corrected to "chowda" !

Thanks for sharing. I cook clam chowder for our church every lent. I live in Iowa so dont have a good supplier of quality clam meat. Im going to contact my friend in RI to go clam harvesting this year. I can freeze the meat for next year. Thanks

Dusting 1 cup of plain flour over the top of the bucket, encourages clams to expel sand quicker and eat becoming meatier. We do this with our pipis in Fiji.

Good stuff! Incidentally, I think steamers are soft-shelled clams - not hard shelled. Cherrystones, littlenecks, and quahogs/chowders are all the same animal. Steamers are a different clam.

Just got done with your dexter video. Late but was out fishing again this morning.

Spider Crabs are big in the British Isles. There are a couple of YouTube Channels that show them harvesting big ones during the winter months.

Hey victor. We all learn as we go. Thanks for the awesome video you and your better half do.

[reneeziayadonovan]

I can't wait to get to the east coast and go go claming!!! Love your videos!!

[imari]

I love both the New England and the Spicy Manhattan style clam chowders. Victor yours looks amazing. Now I'm hungry lol.

My momma has made a mean pot of chowder for years. So good and the bacon just perfect with the bacon grease. Nothing like a good bowl on a cold day with some crusty bread dunked in the “gravy”. Ok now I want some chowder. Lol

I have seen those large clams at stores for so many years and it's good to learn how to prepare them. I often bought uncooked frozen chopped clams for cooking. One guy said to steam them with added white wine and garlic, as mussels are prepared, but that didn't sound right, given their size. I have tried clam chowder at most of the established places in Boston and other areas and here is my input. The chowder needs to be creamier and thicker in texture so use heavy cream instead and also add quality butter. This is not a food that is eaten very often so might as well make it taste at its best. In one recipe the potatoes cubes were added on the top at the end, but some were mashed and cooked in to add the starch, chewy texture and thickening. Chowder needs a hint of celery, but shouldn't be in it visually so simmer them in a tied net to be drawn out. Interesting take with adding chopped garlic and I'm curious how the chowder tastes as it is not a traditional ingredient. It adds time, but the clam broth should have been boiled/reduced down for more flavor. I am not a fan of Thyme since I no longer care for the taste of turkey at Thanksgiving. We switched to serving spiral-cut ham.
