This clam pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the clam pie turned out delicious. I used canned clams, but I think fresh clams would have been even better.

I've made this clam pie recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of chopped celery to the filling. It gives it a nice crunch.

This clam pie recipe was a hit! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I made it for a group of friends, and everyone loved it. I'll definitely be making this again.
