Who Loves A “Stuffie?”
Well, as Dorothy from “The New Vintage Kitchen” points out, all clam lovers do! She shared a post with some terrific ideas for enjoying fresh clams!
I love Dorothy’s passion for clams, and her love of history as well…you’ll read about how she grew up loving clams, and how to ensure the ones you buy are fresh!
See all of Dorothy’s terrific recipes and great instructions on how to work with clams by clicking on her story here:
I grew up with clams in my life as well – as my Grandfather was a Shrimp fisherman outside of Seattle, and we had plentiful clams, oysters, shrimp and more!
That’s why Linguine with Clams is one of my favorite dishes, and if you click here you can see the recipe I follow:
Clams can be used in so many ways, and here is an example:
This is a Bacon Corn Chowder…just add clams and you will take it up a notch!

Hi John, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for the link to my recipes, but I will point I haven’t changed my name to Beth, although it is quite a lovely name.
OH NO! I got you mixed up with Beth, whose recipes I also share! Fixing now! HA! Thanks for being gracious!
I always loved that name!
HA! Well, at least you told me so I could fix it!
I have enjoyed clam linguinie in Italian restaurants, but have never bought them to cook at home. They can make you very ill if you get a ‘bad’ one, so I leave it up to experienced chefs.
Best wishes, Pete.
Pete, I grew up in a “clam prolific” area, so understand your point: if you don’t learn early on how to spot a bad one you have a very Long and unpleasant night ahead!
