ROCKY POINT PARK CLAM CHOWDER
1/2 lb. ground salt pork
1 lb onions finely chopped
1 gallon clam juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole bay leaf
1 lb. diced old potatoes
1 tbs. paprika
2 cups can tomato puree
1 1/2 quarts of chopped quahogs (large clams)
water as needed
salt and pepper to taste
In a large cast iron pan, heat ground or chopped salt pork pver low heat until salt pork becomes translucent and the rendered juice coats the bottom of the pan.
Sauté onions, add clam juice, potates, garlic, seasoning, tomatoes and water to cover all. Simmer until potatoes are tender. Add quahogs and heat until quahogs are heated through. (Do not boil as quahogs will become tough.)
Unsalted Pilot crackers can be used to thicken the chowder (instant mashed potatoes will do in a pinch).
Remove bay leaf and serve in warm bowls or mugs with Pilot or Milk Lunch crackers.

Quahog Chili
Duffy's is famous for it's great seafood - and quahog chili, an innovation of Capt. Stu Tucker, the owner. Here's the formula according to Stu: In a large saucepan or pot, put in three tablespoons of oil. Chop up one green pepper and one onion and saute for three minutes in oil. Add two cups of stewed tomatoes, one tablespoon of chili powder, and simmer until thick - about one hour.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add one pound of chopped quahogs (or clams), two 16-oz. cans of red kidney beans and one 16-oz can of cannellini beans. (Remember to save the shells for making wampum or for baked "stuffies.") Optional: add one pound of fresh sauteed tuna.
Simmer for thirty minutes. Serves six or more.
