Some large pieces that were not chopped if you don't mind some large pecs.very good good value

I've been buying these cans for clam chowder for as long as they've been sold. I use the juice to boil potatoes and other veggies and to serve as my base along with cream. Adds a world of flavor. Now that I'm thinking of it, I'll make some today. I ALWAYS have a can in the pantry. Maybe toss in some crushed tomatoes. What the hell. Thicken with potato or corn starch. Sometimes toss in canned corn with juice.

These are the best clams I've found for my NE clam chowder!

One can came super busted up. The other can not as bad. Should put more thought in packaging. Have used the busted can for a large batch of chowder. It was scrumptious. No one got sick. They are not gritty like other brands tend to be. Will purchase again when the price goes down.

One 51 ounce can at a time makes a sizeable clam chowder. Five or six coarsely diced potatoes with a couple of handfuls (of each) of sauteed and chopped onions, carrots, and celery, cooked with Minor's clam base in a big pot makes food for two for a few days. At about the end of cooking (when vegetables are done), milk is added to desired consistency. Once it gets hot again (after adding milk), it is fine. Sometimes I add a few spices to my serving. (I'm not the cook; I just cut up the vegetables. The cook pointed out that the carrots are sauteed initially, then the celery and onions are added, then the potatoes. I did not know that the potatoes get sauteed at all; I thought that they were just boiled, but such is not the case. The clam base is added at about the same time as the potatoes. Clams (juice and all) are added later. Milk is last.)
