Hatteras Style Clam Chowder image

This is 'Hatteras style.' I work in a restaurant near the North Carolina coast and make this two times a week. I have scaled down the batch for home use. It is very simple. You can also use the bacon grease to saute the vegetables in.

I'm allergic to clams, so I used shrimp instead. The chowder was still delicious!

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out bland. I think I'll add more salt and pepper next time.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I'm not a big fan of clam chowder, but this recipe changed my mind. The broth was creamy and flavorful, and the clams were cooked perfectly.

This chowder was easy to make and turned out great. I used fresh clams from the market, and they really made a difference in the flavor.

I've tried many clam chowder recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of bacon and Old Bay seasoning gives it a unique and delicious flavor.

This Hatteras-style clam chowder was a hit at my last dinner party! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the clams were tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again.
