ROCKY POINT CLAM CHOWDER
This is a tradition in Rhode Island! When I was growing up there was an amusement park on the shore called "Rocky Point". It had a huge Shore Dinner Hall that served a meal of lobster, chowder, clamcakes, sweet corn and watermelon. This is the original recipe for the red chowder. It makes 20-8 ounce servings so you may want to cut the recipe in half. Serve with my clam cake recipe. Close your eyes, take a bite and you are in Rhode Island!

Steps:
- In a large stockpot, heat the salt pork until fat melts.
- Add chopped onions; Cook over gentle heat until very soft.
- Add clam juice, potatoes, seasonings, tomato puree, and alittle water; simmer until the potatoes are soft.
- Add quahogs/clams.
- Heat and taste for seasoning.
- TIP: It is best to use old, not new, potatoes because they thicken the chowder with their starch.
- This is not a thick chowder, but can be thickened by crushing Pilot crackers and adding to the chowder near the end of cooking.
RHODE ISLAND CLAM CAKES
Clam cakes are a summer tradition in Rhode Island. A ride to the shore will always necessitate a stop at George's or Aunt Carries for a dozen clam cakes and a pint of chowder!

Steps:
- Set a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil to a depth of 3 inches. Bring oil to 375° (or as close as you can). Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the clams with their juices, milk, egg and butter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and pepper. Add the clam mixture to the dry ingredients along with the lemon juice and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Drop batter into the oil by the heaping tablespoon (we use a medium cookie dough scoop). Work in batches so as not to crowd the pan, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain the temperature. Fry until clam cakes are nicely browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm, with lemon wedges on the side.
