Cape Cod Clam/Fish Chowdah!

Directions

OK! First get some clam stock, I usually make my own or get it fresh from the fish marlet. say 2 cups,1 cup of cream,2 cups of milk,half cup of olive oil. put it in a big soup pan. Now add 2-4 chopped potatoes and 2-4 onions chopped, same number of shrooms,in the pot. now add the clams,steamed. baked ,your choice..put em in, butter full stick,in the pot. cook slow on low heat.. you should also be drinking a little wine as you go. now we are having fun! now bake up a couple of fish fillets, striped bass is my choice, in the pot they go, seperate any dark colored fish and toss it, use only the cocked white fish..now stir and enjoy cooking. Add garlic salt and ground pepper as you go. COOK SLOW. Do not Boil! I usually cook overnight on low heat. A clam crust will form,no problem stir it in, it will darken the soup a little but just makes it taste better. As for the clams you can either steam em or get em fried and just add em. the batter on fried clams is awesome in the chowdah! Now you can tweak things as you go but the key is to cook it slow.. I use all fresh clams and fish. I usually harvest all the seafood myself as I live on Cape Cod which has some of the best seafood in the world! Prep time is about an hour os so, cook time at least 2 hours,4 would be great and overnight is just awesome.!! Any question let me know, I am posting this for Jodi. love this website! Hope ya'll enjoy the CHOWDAH!! Nothing better on a cold winter day! God Bless ya'll Tom
