I love clams! I used to live in Pismo Beach, home of the famous Pismo Clams. We used to be able to go clamming and catch our limit years ago but the sea otters and illegal clammers from out of the are have largely ruined the clamming here.
I am picky about my clam chowder but find a lot of good New England clam chowder in the area.
I have never tried corn chowder and don't think I could eat it.

Love clams!

Love New England Clam Chowder!

I can't stand clams...but I do love....Corn Chowder..Stacy

Can't stand canned clam chowder...but I do love realy good Clams Casino and deviled clams.
Raw cherrystones are the best.

I am not overly fond of canned Clam Chowder, but really like home made. I grew up eating clam and corn chowders.

They make me gag!!

In my youth I enjoyed clams in chowder, fried, and in a pasta sauce I used to make. In my late 20's I developed a bad allergy to them and haven't been able to eat them since.

I love razor clams. I wish we could get them on the east coast!

RAZOR CLAMS! yummy! not only good to eat, but FUN to dig! lol
Yes, I like clams! geoducks! yummy!

I like fried clams and clam chowder that isn't strong tasting. Never had corn chowder w/clams in it but I'm looking for a good scratch recipe for corn chowder w/ chicken stock base. Grinch do you have one?

Call me weird, but I can eat Campbell's from the can! Undiluted!

I used to really like Clam Chowder back when I was a waitress. Sambos had some good soups! You'll think I'm stupid, but does clam chowder have potatoes in it or were those clams?

I haven't ate it since then (and that was over 20 years ago). I don't eat much seafood or fish for that matter.

Yes I make my own clam chowder,and I love fried clams.

Clams! Clams! Clams! Yes! I love fried Ipswich clams, New England clam chowder, corn chowder, Clams Oreganata, clam dip, raw with seafood sauce, steamed with drawn butter, linguine with white clam sauce. I could go on and on. I love clams. I'm a New England girl at heart.

Yes I love clams. On our first date we went to Woodman's clam shack in Essex MA. They are known as the home of the fried clam. It's an eat in the rough kinda place, oilcloth on the tables. In the summer you needed a shoe horn to fit in the building and hope you could find a table. I'm not a fan of chowda from a can. I make my own with whole clams and heavy cream. Oh and you have to have Oysterettes and a pat of butter floating on top.

LOVE THEM..steamed mainly. During all 3 pregnancies-that is all I craved and to this day-all 3 kids love them too!
Having cooked clam chowder in restaurants for 35 years-and now living in FL-I have a BIG distaste for New England chowder-as that is ALL they serve here! Most places make it so thick-I hate it that way-mine was more of a milky chowder.
I love to make my own Manhattan Clam Chowder. Oh for the days when one could go to a 'Clambake' for a wenty dollar bill and eat all of the steamed or raw clams you could handle! Nowadays-they 'issue you' a bag or two and that's all. Waaah!

LOVE THEM!!!! Steamed, fried, in chowder. YUM!! Now I'm hungry for them, we may have to have lunch from the Fishboat today.

I grew up going to Pismo Beach in CA and digging for clams. My mom would make fried clams for breakfast and fresh clam chowder. I also liked buying fresh clams and steaming them. I don't care for canned soups but I do like to use a couple of cans of chopped or minced clams to heat up in butter and garlic and pour over pasta. Yummy.

I love clams. And, now, must have some!
Thanks Gayle - you got me back...

LOL

I love New England clam chowder. I never make from scratch,I think Progresso makes a ggod one.

For those of you who like the store bought chowder? My favorite seafood restaurant here on the beach is Crabby Bill's-awesome food! In fact-I will ONLY eat his New England Clam Chowder! He even sells his special chowder online!
OH! This past Wednesday-my lifelong BFF was in town & we took them there for Lobster They have some new menus now and there are pictures on the back of the menu-one of which is his new outdoor bar/restaurant called the Loading Dock. My eyes popped when I saw Ernie & I in the one photo-on opening day of the place!!

I like clam chowder but don't really like clams by themselves. Clams are pretty big here in the northwest too. Oysters are a little more popular though (blech)!
