Tips: You can also make this into a crab dip by replacing 8 oz. of broken lump crab for the clams. Also, many people love to eat this Clam Dip with ruffle potato chips, and it gets tastier the next day.
I have been making this recipe religously for 30+ years with a friend that I worked with in Yakutat many years ago...I've changed it up very little since that time...and every time I eat this it brings back very fond memories of my friend and co-worker during that time named Jennethan!
ReplyDeleteI have used a similar recipe over the years. That was so very good........... num...
