"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
You can make the base ahead of time. Reheat before you add clams etc. I add red skin potatoes to broth. I also cut shrimp to make easier to eat. You can add any fish you like ( lobster, calamari) or eliminate what you don’t like. You can also use clam juice and vegetable stock in place of fish stock. Enjoy!

Serve with bread for dipping!
