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.

Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams are essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Chop the clams finely: Finely chopped clams will distribute the flavor throughout the dip and make it easier to eat.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: A good quality cream cheese will make the dip smooth and creamy. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free cream cheese, as it will not produce the same results.
- Don't overcook the clams: Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
- Serve the dip warm: Clam dip is best served warm. You can reheat it in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat.
