I made New England clam chowder on Good Friday for my Mom and family in Missouri. It's a family tradition.

Shellfish isn't kosher.
I am not as cool as JimVH. Nor or you. Well, unless you ARE JimVH.

I used to help out at an annual lobster feed fund raiser. The lobsters and potatoes would be flown in from Maine.
One year they didn't arrive on time and some lucky fellow ended up with crates full of huge lobsters a few days later with no place to put them, so that put an end to interest in holding future events.

As I recollect, we had to drink several six packs of MIller and put the cans in the lobster pots to prevent the critters from settling on the bottom and getting burned.
Fun times.

Lobster in a shellfish thread is pretty shellfish. I call foul.

Interesting story tho...

Untill you've dug clams with a four tined rake all afternoon, you do not understand the true enjoyment of clams.
When I lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I would drive out to my spot and dig clams all afternoon. I would fill up a five gallon bucket with them. Hard work! On the way home I picked up a 12 pack of beer. I got home and poured some charcoal on the grill. Once hot, I would toss a dozen clams on the grill and wait for them to crack open. Once they cracked, I would pull off the top shell and put a splash of hot sauce, a dash of salt and pepper and maybe some garlic powder in the bottom shell. I sipped beer while the cooked and ate them straight off the grill. I always took some to my FFL dealer, but the rest got shucked and fried in a light four batter.

The locale that's known for clams and chowder in my corner of the planet is Pismo Beach.
