MW Polar Seafood, Whole Baby Clams, 10-Ounce (Pack of 12) (2120)

Excellent for chowder. Nice meaty clams with great flavor. I use the liquid in the cans as part of the chowder. Adds a nice briny flavor. And much cheaper than buying individual cans in the grocery store.

I have used these clams for both New England and Manhattan chowders. Not too salty, nice clam flavor, and good clam to broth ratio. A few had a little bit of sand, but less that expected.They are tender and I suggest recipes where you add the broth early and the clams only at the very end so they don't get tough. My family loved both soups. I will buy again---though 12 cans package does last for a while. I don't make clam chowder every month. I used 3 cans for soup for family of six.

The title says it: good flavor, fresh aroma. Canned clams can never come close to fresh ones, but a bit of olive oil, a few cloves of garlic and a bunch of fresh parsley (and an optional shot of vermouth and a pat of butter) make a damn good quick clam sauce, and these are better than other brands I've tried.

I bought this 12-can clam set cuz 70% iron per 3oz, & to make my own version of instant clam chowder.But the clams were so good, I just ate them right out of the can. Briny, a little sand, tender tender tender tender tender.. I couldn't help but think of whoever scraped the clam out of the shell..yes, they are that fresh.I love Polar Seafood, & buy their mackerel by the 12-can, also.I really didn't expect these baby clams to be any good, but they are spectacular.Make instant clam chowder w powdered mashed potatoes, cilantro or parsley, garlic onion salt butter pepper (the clams are salty enuf), powdered milk, Etc; your liquid will be the can + extra water for the desired thickness. Keep dry & wet ingredients separate until the liquid is hot, but not boiling; then, pour wet into dry, stir to desired thickness.YESSSSS I love these clams, thank you, God!I dictated this review; I hope there aren't too many typos. Will come back later, to edit.

Can't get out to get fresh clams... These work perfectly to make stuffed clams,Spaghetti and clam sauce and other dishes that requires fresh clams

Value for the money.The freshness is not there but of course is to be expected in canned clams.

I really like these canned clams for use in recipes -- I make a sauce for linguine with them and also use them in paella and other dishes. Unfortunately, every time I check, the price is a little higher -- I'm going to keep an eye on it, and depending on the cost, I may continue being a customer.

Given the lack of fresh seafood availability in my area, this is a great alternative. I made a very tasty chowder, and there were no bad bits.
