Stuffed Clams

Took a nice little trip down to visit some friends who live in Chatham, MA... on Cape Cod. Had some super fresh oysters from Wellfleet along with some lobsters, mussels, and we went digging for clams too.
Got these in a short period of time:
We ate the small littlenecks raw and steamed, and I decided to make some stuffed clams from some of the bigger ones. Sauteed some onion, yellow bell pepper, bacon, celery, and garlic in butter. Added some fresh thyme, parsley, red pepper flakes, white wine, and bread crumbs from day old french bread. Steamed the clams, chopped the meat, and added some of the clam broth to the stuffing mixture.
I set up the Egg for indirect at about 400° dome temp, waited for a good fire, threw on just a few wood chips, and added the clams.
I don't really know how long they were on.....did have two beers while they were cooking though.
The wife made up a simple fish stew with lobster stock, some mussels, fresh cod, and we threw in a lobster too. All in all, and good meal.

Nothing smells more like summer to me than seafood from the Cape. Beautiful.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

The clams were really good...not like stuffed clams you get at restaurants, where it's mostly dense stuffing and no clams! Will probably make up another couple dozen of these today to keep in the freezer.
I am headed out to the mid-west for again, so I figured I should get as much seafood as I can.

Awesome. No way can you get fresher than that. love that first picture. The rake, the boats in the background....too cool.

The Maître d' told me it had a hint of cherries and tobacco, which it did, but I found it to have too much tannin for my tastes. I went back to Mogen David and Thunderbird.Dripping Springs, Texas -
The clams were not cooked at our friends, I brought them home and made the stuffed clams. I made another two dozen a couple of days ago and served them last night at a dinner party we had.
Howdy....the clams casino look great! We ate all the littlenecks raw or steamed....so I was left with cherrystones and quahogs.
