Rocky Point Clam Chowder image

This is a tradition in Rhode Island! When I was growing up there was an amusement park on the shore called "Rocky Point". It had a huge Shore Dinner Hall that served a meal of lobster, chowder, clamcakes, sweet corn and watermelon. This is the original recipe for the red chowder. It makes 20-8 ounce servings so you may want to cut the recipe in half. Serve with my clam cake recipe. Close your eyes, take a bite and you are in Rhode Island!

Time 1h

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb salt pork, chopped into small pieces
1 lb onion, chopped
1 gallon clam juice
1 lb potato, diced
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups canned tomato puree
1 1/2 quarts chopped quahogs or 1 1/2 quarts clams
water, as needed
salt & pepper
Old Bay Seasoning
pilot cracker

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, heat the salt pork until fat melts.
  • Add chopped onions; Cook over gentle heat until very soft.
  • Add clam juice, potatoes, seasonings, tomato puree, and alittle water; simmer until the potatoes are soft.
  • Add quahogs/clams.
  • Heat and taste for seasoning.
  • TIP: It is best to use old, not new, potatoes because they thicken the chowder with their starch.
  • This is not a thick chowder, but can be thickened by crushing Pilot crackers and adding to the chowder near the end of cooking.

The chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk and it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
