Whole Baby Clams

These baby bivalves are so yummy! I made linguine with a gorgeous clam sauce from garlic, basil, hot red pepper, a squeeze of lemon, white wine and olive oil. It was better than any restaurant clam sauce we've ever had! I'm keeping these on subscription when the clam cravings hit!

So recently I made some homemade New England clam chowder and I put three cans of this in the soup along with the broth and everything and I got to say that this came out rather well. If I was to price each one of these cans at the store against what I paid through Amazon this was definitely a better value for the money and also had very good quality. I can't wait to try this in a clam dip for New years but if these come out as well as the Clam chowder did I'm looking very forward to it

Mix a can into your Campbells clam chowder to make a delicious award winning chowder.

Delicious when mixed in to lintels or chili. But every single can was dented badly. Not bad enough to make them go bad, but does that explain the reduced cost?

Previously, I was using Snow's chopped clams in my stir fries but in addition to being ground like ground beef, the cans were less than half full of clams. Bumble Bee baby clams are the perfect size for adding to stir-fried vegetables, and the cans were full of clams instead of floating around in cans full of water. I will definitely be reordering.

Not as advertised or stated on the can label as printed as whole clams. They were minced. into very fine pieces. There was a few larger chunks but were so tough they could not be chewed. even with the smaller pieces when I chewed them they formed a big wad in my mouth that had to be spit out, I would compare to a mouthful of chopped rubber bands. Totally no flavor...No value here.

For some odd reason, this product (whole baby clams) is no longer available at our local grocery stores in Kansas City. We can only find chopped or diced in the smaller cans. Our preference is to use whole baby clams in clam chowder, so this was our lifeline. The price was good and quality is what we would expect of a name brand like Bumble Bee.

BEWARE, shell pieces! I've used this brand for many years and have never had a problem. This time. There were enough shell fragments I two different servings had fragments in it and I had to throw out the rest of the clam chowder. Bumblebee won't care. They'll just tell me they have a warning on the can. With the small clams and shell fragments about the size of the clams or smaller, am I supposed to go through every single clam between my fingers? Unacceptable! The taste was good and if you are going to touch each clam to maybe put it on cracker appetizer or something then you'll probably be fine.
