You are right, Bob! Most canned clams are the chopped or minced chowder clams or qua-hog. Cherystone’s are actually baby size qua-hogs and of course more tender, and so good raw on the half shell!

We always grind up the qua-hogs for good old New England clam chowder. I always use “Snow's” brand chopped or minced clams as think they are the best. I used minced so next time I make the clam cakes I will try the chopped instead. Might give the cakes a little more clam flavor with the bit larger pieces of clam. The recipe does call for using the juice so I did. :)
