1038.0. "CLAMS: Stuffed Quahogs" by BAGELS::MONDOU () Tue Mar 08 1988 12:38

    Does anyone have a recipe for Portuguese style stuffed
    quahogs?   Or a store in the Rt 495 area that sells them ?
    The last great quahogs I had were in New Bedford but
    I'm having trouble finding them anymore.
                 
    When I grew up in New Bedford, it was mandatory to serve
    stuffed quahogs on Friday night.
    Let's hear it from some of the noters of Portuguese descent.
    Share those great recipes.

1038.2What makes it Portugese?HOONOO::PESENTIJPWed Mar 09 1988 07:0810
Any idea what makes the recipe Portugese?  I've had lots of stuffed quahogs 
before and they were similar to .-1, except without the Linguica, and they 
were baked on the half shell to get a crispy top.

The Quarterdeck in Maynard makes their own and freezes them.  They end up 
looking like the stuff in the average grocery store freezer, but are MUCH 
better!
