I'm allergic to clams, so I substituted shrimp. It turned out great!

This chowder was way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to make it edible.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out bland. I think I'll add more salt and pepper next time.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding more liquid next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chowder, but this recipe changed my mind. It was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of clams. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chowder was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used fresh clams from the seafood market and they really made a difference. I will definitely be making this again.
