"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
I use one large can of Clams available at Sam's or Costco in lieu of several smaller cans.

If you like chowder thick and creamy then use the part half and half and part heavy cream alternative.
