- Being from the East Coast, we prefer our chowder a certain way so we wanted to share with you our New England clam chowder recipe! Hopefully you can go clamming and make this too!
Ingredients: 4 strips bacon, 1 8 oz bottle of clam juice, 2 cups of homemade clam broth, 1 celery stalk chopped, 5 red potatoes chopped, 1 onion chopped, 1/3 cup flour, 1 cup whole milk,
flour slurry (mix 1/2 cup half and half and 1/3 cup flour), clams (however many you want)
Directions:
Clam Broth:
1. Fill a pot with the clams and enough water to cover them, then an additional 1 inch of water above it.
2. Bring to a boil and cook covered for about 4 minutes.
3. Adjust heat to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
4. Remove clams as they start to open. When cool enough to handle, remove clams from their shell.
5. Strain broth to get rid of extra particles/shell pieces.
Chowder
1. Cook bacon until crispy and remove from pan, leaving some bacon fat left (you can keep rendered bacon fat in a glass jar and use it for later cooking). Chop/crumble bacon to desired size
2. Cook onion and celery until tender.
3. Add potatoes and both the homemade clam broth and bar harbor clam juice (called juice, but is broth).
4. Heat on high until boiling. Once boiling, lower heat to low-low medium and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender.
5. Add in milk, clams, and half of the bacon and cook for 3-5 minutes.
6. Add flour slurry slowly while whisking and cook until thickened. (The slurry is what will make the chowder thicker)
7.Pour into bowl and top with bacon.
8. Enjoy!

I’ve been a professional chef for 35 years and have made countless hundreds/thousands of gallons of clam chowder. Bacon is such an essential part of clam chowder in my opinion. Yes the purists will complain but let them . The smokiness from the bacon really finishes it off, with a touch of Tabasco sauce of course. You guys nailed it. It was a perfect looking chowder, I’m sure it tasted just as amazing. Great job! The only thing I would do different would be to make a roux as part of the cooking process with the bacon fat and butter. It gives you a super creamy and nutty flavor from browning the flour while making the roux. Hats off and it made my mouth water. Thanks for sharing!
This looks fantastic! When I was a teenager, I worked in a fish and chips restaurant bussing tables and doing dishes, and I lived on this style of chowder. The pay and hours were terrible, the waitresses didn't share their tips (they usually drank them at the end of the night...) and the owner was a jerk, but the cook would pass me a bowl when I had a break and it seemed like perfection... Excellent video and great recipe. I wish you guys were still active.
Saw you guys on fisherman's life.
I can't tell you how many I have seen that don't care about size or replacing the habitat. What do they expect to leave for their kids ect, Thankyou for everything!
Guys another informative video....well done. Thanks... now I'm craving clam chowder😂😂💖☺
Glad you guys did a collaboration with Outdoor Chef Life! Awesome video and channel!
Thank you, I've never seen this channel before, but you came up because I was looking to find out how to dig clams and you showed me so much more. I will be making my own clam chowder as soon as possible. Thank you for telling me that I need a license , I did not even know think of that.
Very informative! Thank you. Looks delicious
I really like how you said to leave things as you find them. I want to do this, great video!
Enjoyed every minute of it!!
yum!!! super informative. love the kitchen shots, there was a lot of cool stuff happening in this video!
I used to cut my hands a lot digging for soft shell clams in cape cod, good times.
Hopefully I’ll have my first successful clam dig today! Just came here to make sure I’m not missing any important pointers before I hit the road to go digging. Thanks for sharing brother
Thanks for the clam chowder recipe.
I’m so going to find some clams now. Looks simple enough. Thanks
