CLAM DIP



Clam Dip image

Here now a taste of New England game days circa the time when televisions had dials instead of remotes and, if you couldn't get fresh clams to steam and chop, a can or two from the supermarket would do just fine. (That's still true!) The recipe comes from Brendan McCarthy, a saltwater fishing guide whose charters range from Brooklyn to Montauk, and south to Florida, the Bahamas and the azure waters off Panama, but whose tastes and kitchen skills were first developed in New England and see an apogee in the simplicity of this recipe. The dip benefits from some curing time in the refrigerator and, for some, a heavy hand on the cayenne.
