Snow's Ocean Chopped Clams Canned, 51 oz Can - 7g Protein per Serving - Gluten Free, No MSG, 99% Fat Free - Great for Pasta & Seafood Recipes

This is absolutely loaded with big tasty pieces of clams. It makes a fabulous clam sauce for linguine. I am definitely going to buy this again. Great quality and great value.

meaty, salty, juicy - it's what you'd expect. Also, if you have a recipe needing clam juice, this has at least a bottle's worth inside, so you can save a bit, for something like a Cioppino, which is already going to be expensive! That's the downside too though... most of the weight is juice, not clam meat. Still it's a lot of meat for a decent price - good for a full 16 qt batch of cioppino when you add some other seafood to complement.

I wanted to make clam chowder and could not find clams in the grocery store. Rather than going to at least one more store, I checked on Amazon. There were quite a few choices—this large can was half the price of the one I have used in the past. These were excellent—hardly any sand in the juice when I strained them. The clams looked very good and they made a wonderful chowder. The recipe called for a lot fewer of clams, but I like to load it up. with this 51 ounces can.I used a half gallon of half and half plus the clam juice. For more liquid you can add chicken broth or a bottle of clam juice. Soften celery, onion, and 2-3 potatoes—all chopped—in the clam juice, Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Make a flour/butter roux and add some of the half and half to it until you have a thickened paste, then slowly add to the rest of the liquid which is simmering, not boiling. Add clams at the end—dash of hot sauce is optional. Rave reviews! Will order again.

I have been using this brand, particularly, this type of clams (be aware there are other different types out there) for about 10 years now. I made about 4 batches each year. Before finding this brand, I did try other brands/clams type and I find this item has larger pieces of clams, the clam meat is tender (unlike others that tend to fall apart), the juice is not too salty, only very small amount of cleaning (I alway run my fingers through and discard the dirt pieces). The clams hold their shape and texture after cooking. Highly recommended.

If you have purchased canned clams in a grocery store recently, you know what a great value this can is! There are a ton of clams in there. Clams are a good size and texture. I use it with gluten-free mung bean threads (for angel hair) or sweet potato noodles (for spaghetti) to make an incredible pasta and clams.
