Bumblebee Snow's, Chopped, Clams in Clam Juiice, 6.5oz Can (Pack of 6)

Love it. I use it when I make linguine with clams. Clean, and chopped up into perfect size bits. They could put more clam bits in each can, however. But overall it’s great.

For decades we couldn’t get these in the U.K. to make clam chowder and now we can! So happy about that. Here is my recipe: 1c. chopped onion 1c. chopped celery 3 1/2 heaping cups potatoes 1/2c. butter (113g) 1/3 heaping cup. flour 1 qt. half and half (= 1 pint whole milk and a 600ml large single cream) 3 cans Snow’s chopped clams 1 tsp salt (not more) 1 Tb Worcestershire 1/2 tsp cooking sherry (dry, not sweet.) Sprinkle of thyme, 15-20 shakes Pepper to taste Drain clams and reserve liquid. Pour liquid over vegetables. Add water to barely cover the vegetables. Simmer over medium heat until vegetables are tender...add potatoes 4 mins after onion and celery. Simmers about 7-10 minutes. (Check celery/onions to be sure they're not crunchy.) In a saucepan, melt butter until VERY bubbly and super hot (on 7), add flour all at once to make a roux, whisking 3 minutes until smooth and no lumps. Add sherry. Stir whilst adding the cream. Cook and stir until smooth, (and very hot, slightly foamy), stir constantly. Add the vegetables to the roux and add salt, Worcestershire, thyme, pepper and clams. Cook for only a couple minutes till heated. Serve in warm bread bowls (optional) Makes 6-8 servings.

If you enjoy New England clam chowder this is the perfect addition to fill out the normally light inclusion of real clams. Snow's is a great brand and oddly Amazon is only place I could find it. NOBODY sells this type of clam in cans anywhere in the stores available to shop in here at home in UK!

Used these clams with a sauce over linguine. Delicious. Next is clam chowder soup. I really shopped around for a reasonable priced product and these just fine. **** I wrote this review last week, gave the product a 5 star rating because they are tasty clams. Today I opened another can of clams for soup. It was less than half full, mostly juice. I needed more so opened a second can. Same thing, half full. I wanted to open a 3rd can to see if it was also defective. I bought two 6-pack for $98, 12 cans, not half cans. I wanted the product replaced and cannot find where I could do this.

For me I'm from the East Coast brought up on shellfish They were kind of ok clams were really chopped up FINE and not a lot of them Not really happy with this product
