Razor Clam Chowder

[summoner7]

I made some Razor Clam Chowder this past weekend from some clams in my freezer, and it was awesome! Here's a big picture in case you need to drool... :food:

Here are the ingredients and directions:


4 or 5 strips of bacon
1 medium sized sweet onion (Walla Walla) chopped
2 gold potatoes chopped
1 can of Santiam corn–or regular canned corn, I just like that kind
About 6 Razor Clams
About half a pint carton of half and half.
About a handful of flour
Oyster Crackers
Use scissors to cut up bacon into lots of little squares. Fry bacon until it is cooked. Dump chopped up onion into bacon and let it sautee until its soft. Next dump the potatoes in and sautee them for a few minutes, too. Then dump your corn into the mix (include corn water). If you froze your Razor Clams in fresh water, go ahead and dump the clam water in, too. Boil it until the chopped up potatoes are no longer crunchy–add a little water if it starts getting low (the corn water was almost enough for me), but I like it chunky and less watery. Use scissors to chop up the Razor Clams and then dump them in, too. Put in about half a pint of half and half and let it get up to a boil and then let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Taste a piece of clam and if it tastes done, it’s done, otherwise, go for longer. I mixed in some flour, about a handful, which thickened it up nicely. Finally, add Oyster Crackers and mix well. Bon Appetit and Enjoy! :food:

Man, after five tacos, and a few rum and cokes, I could still eat a pot of that! Looks great.

[huntgrouse]

Dang that does look good. I've always wanted to give clamming a try.

I found a bag of razors in the freezer that got shoved to the back so to use them up I'm making this next weekend with them. Add a little red Tabasco sauce to the finished product and you got it made.

Looks great.............

man i would rather save my razors. and buy canned clames for chowder. but the chowder does look really good

[ambush 1]

I agree what a waste of Razor Clams . Bay clams for chowder :twocents:

[blacktail rattler]

I would use razors, why not use better clams=better taste! I could tell the difference even in chowder.

[DB Crouper]

Use neck half of razors as that is the tougher part, and save the diggers (back half) for frying. I grew up in Seaside on fried diggers, and clam chowder and clam fritters from the ground neck halves. No waste and super tender fried clams. You'll also find it's easier to clean them if you're not worried about keeping them in one piece.:)
