Description

If you are from or have ever visited New England, you are undoubtedly familiar with how popular clams are in several styles of dishes. From chowders to pastas, our chopped clams will provide a welcome transformation to your dinnertime routines. These clams are wild-caught and are very easy to prepare. Whether simmered in a saucepan with an assortment of spices and seasonings or baked in the oven to create a spread for appetizer crackers, we guarantee you can find plenty of options to add some pizzazz to your classic meals. Enjoy two pints of Atlantic chopped clams for an affordable price when you order online today!

Clams are an excellent source of lean protein and, to much surprise, they provide more iron than beef. If you are concerned about introducing fish to your family’s regular meals due to the risk of contaminants or environmental impact, clams are an exceptional alternative because they have little to no contaminants and score high for minimal impact on the environment compared to other habitually harvested foods. Achieve optimal heart health thanks to the essential fatty acids in clams.

Atlantic chopped clams are ideal for replacing oily fishes or other recipe rotations you are looking to take a break from. If you crave clams but hate the hard work of shucking them, discover the convenience in our chopped clams that are ready to be prepared for you and your family to enjoy. Explore Wholey’s Market signature products and make dinner both easy and fun for everyone.

To steam:
Pour ¼ cup water into a 5-7 quart pan. Add clams, cover and boil over medium-high heat just until shells open (5-10 minutes); remove clams as they open. Discard unopened clams. Serve warm in wide bowls. Strain cooking liquid and serve in small bowls as a dip along with melted butter and lemon wedges.

Or remove steamed clams from shells and use in other recipes. For a great appetizer, try mixing ¼ cup salad oil, 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 3 cloves minced garlic. Pour on loose clams in half shells arranged on a baking dish. Broil 4” from heat, just until cheese begins to melt (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle with parsley and extra cheese. Serve with wooden picks.

To pan-fry:
Lightly coat clams with flour. Over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon salad oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Place shucked clams without crowding, in pan and cook, turning once until browned (about 1 – 1 ½ minutes total): add more oil and butter as needed. Lift out clams on to a towel paper lined-plate, season with salt and pepper and serve.

How to Make New England Clam Chowder

Step 1: Cook the Bacon
Render the Fat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
Set Aside: Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
Cook Onion and Celery: Add the onion and celery to the pot, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Base
Create a Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until fully incorporated, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the reserved clam juice and clam juice from the can, stirring to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Simmer the Chowder
Add Cream and Milk: Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine for a rich, velvety base.
Incorporate Potatoes and Herbs: Add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5: Add the Clams
Stir in Clams: Add the chopped clams and their reserved juice, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Season: Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 6: Serve
Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with crispy bacon and fresh parsley.
Pair: Serve with oyster crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

Tips for the Perfect Clam Chowder

Avoid overcooking the clams. Stir them in at the end to prevent them from becoming rubbery. For a thicker consistency, blend a portion of the soup before adding the clams.

  • Fresh vs. Canned: If you have access to fresh clams, they can elevate the dish, but high-quality chopped clams work beautifully for convenience.
  • Add Depth of Flavor: Enhance the chowder with a splash of sherry, a pinch of smoked paprika, or a few drops of hot sauce for a spicy twist.
