Thread Name: BS: Clam Chowder without milk??!!
Subject: RE: BS: Clam Chowder without milk??!!
??? I posted THREE times and it's still not here...

Oh well, whatever. New post. I'll just see what happens this time.

Kendall... re bar clams being tough and tasteless... not here. The bar clams in the Northumberland straight on the NB side are fantastic. Got sommat to do with the parasites in em. At UNB, the Biology Dept Head gave a talk and slide show about same. Apparently, the mollusks in Shediac Bay taste so good because of the parasites. And, they are tender.

BTW... the post that wasn't contained a reference to Margaree, NF... east of Port-aux-Basques. The restaurant is unreal, but you gotta call first to see if they feel like cooking today.
