  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy. Cook the clams just until they are opaque and tender.
  • Use a good quality clam juice: The clam juice you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. Look for a clam juice that is made from fresh clams and has a light, briny flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your chowder: Vegetables add flavor, color, and texture to chowder. Some good vegetables to add to clam chowder include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season your chowder to taste: Season your chowder with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for a little extra flavor.
