Ingredients

3 cups ground quahogs (hard-shell chowder clams)
3 cups corn meal (preferably white)
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup quahog juice or more as needed

Steps:

Mix corn meal, flour and baking powder. Beat eggs separately and add milk to it. Combine milk, eggs and quahogs to dry ingredients and stir, adding enough quahog juice to make a smooth, thick batter. Fry the batter by a gravy-sized spoonful in deep fat at 360 degrees until well browned. Drain on a brown paper bag or paper towel. Serve hot with the hot Rocky Point Clam Chowder (see recipe). This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
Don't overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they are opaque.
Use a good-quality clam juice. This will also add flavor to your chowder.
Add the vegetables towards the end of the cooking time. This will help them retain their color and texture.
Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Serve immediately. Clam chowder is best when served hot.
