Notes: I find that the melding of the pork and the seafood flavors are important. The variety of seafood, even in a basic clam chowder adds depth to the flavor. Imitation lobster (sirimi) often finds its way into my seafood dishes, but I never admit it. If you use canned clams or crabmeat ( yes sometimes I add crabmeat if I have some in my pantry) be sure to add the juice, even if you need to reduce the liquid by simmering longer. It really broadens the flavor base. ( Have you put in a touch of worchester sauce?)
