- Drain the
clams and reserve the liquid. Put the clams in a bowl big enough to mix
everything and then add the rest of the ingredients. Only add two
tablespoons of the clam juice, but save the rest as you may add more
later.
- Mash and
mix everything up with a fork until it is smooth and well mixed. If
it's to think, add more clam juice. The dip gets much of it's flavor
from the juice rather than the clams, so don't be afraid to add a bit
too much. But don't make it runny.
- Chill and
serve with chips.

When you want a snack and long for
some seafood , nothing is better than this for a comfort food. It is
great to make ahead and have as an appetizer for family get togethers
or parties too. I add a little habanero pepper to mine, and maybe a
little more lemon juice and cilantro, but this recipe is the basic one
for those who want a normal clam dip...you can always experiment after
wards. But try it with some fresh cilantro and more lemon and a little
zing of hot pepper , you just might like it! You can also substitute
sour cream for cream cheese.
