How to Make New England Clam Chowder

Thanks again to our friend David Dadekian from Eat Drink RI for another great home seafood video, this time featuring his recipe for New England style clam chowder made with fresh local cherrystones! 🥣

Did you know that cherrystone is the name of a size category of hard shell clams? Mercenaria mercenaria, also known as Quahogs, are the classic hard shell clam that is native to New England. They range in size from (smallest to largest) littlenecks, topnecks, cherrystones, and quahogs (or chowder clams).
