Recipes are always evolving. We've gravitated toward using more spices in some things some of the time, but you're right, simple preparations are sometimes the best of all when ingredients are really fresh. Laurie Dear Lee,

It was from the Country Inns Cookery published in 1982 featuring the Shelburne Inn. However, I see you have changed the origional receipe by adding bell peppers, curry and cayenne pepper. Obviously, this makes it a spicer version, but I am curious as to why the change? It is such an incredible chowder just the way it was. Especially with the 6 tablespoons of butter. Is this a newer, version healthier? A fellow mussel lover from way back, Lee PS> the woman, Liane Crosta's husband's father has property on Long Beach.

I'd also add for newbies: don't freak out when you see a tube pop out of the digestive sac during cleaning (this always grosses out the teenagers in our group). I'm told it's a digestive enzyme, not what the kids are joking it is. :) Looking forward to the next dig! David, you’re giving me clam digging fever–those are some lovely BIG ones!
