Fall River Clam Chowder Recipe
About: At Emeril's New Orlean's Fish House, Chef Jean Paul Labadie reproduces a classic Emeril's recipe, which was first shared in the book "Emeril's TV Dinners" in 1998. While this is orignally just clams, feel free to add mussels as well and even substitute smoked ham cubes instead of bacon. Make sure the clam shells are clean and free of dirt and sand. Do the same for mussels by removing the "beard" and making sure the sea creatures close when handled. If the mussel or clam doesn't close, there's a good chance it could be dead. Toss them in the garbage if they aren't alive.
