CLAM DIP
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.

SPICY CLAM DIP
In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
- Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
- Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.

Tips:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use canned clams, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Chop the clams finely. This will help the clams to distribute evenly throughout the dip.
- Use a high-quality cream cheese. A good cream cheese will make your dip smooth and creamy. Avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it will make your dip too thin.
- Add some flavorings. Some popular flavorings for clam dip include garlic, onion, celery, and parsley. You can also add some lemon juice or zest for a bit of brightness.
- Chill the dip before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the dip more refreshing.
- Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables. Clam dip is a great appetizer or snack. You can also serve it as a main course with a salad.
