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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the clams finely: This will help them to blend into the dip more easily and create a smoother texture.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of fillers or additives.
  • Add some spice: This dip is mild in flavor, so you can add some spice to it if you like. Try adding some chopped jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or chili powder.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: This dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This Mexican clam dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with fresh clams. Serve it with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
