Use Fresh Clams For The Best Tasting Soups And Chowders - Yahoo Canada Sports

Image
live clam shells being sold - Christopher Morris - Corbis/Getty Images Clam chowder has been a staple all around the country since colonial times. There are three major types: the creamy richness of New England clam chowder with milk and cream, the tangy tomato goodness of Manhattan-style chowder, or the clear, brothy charm of Rhode Island-style chowder. No matter your preference, a single spoonful is a blessing in the colder months of the year. Beyond the regional style, what really makes or breaks your chowder are the clams. Even if it takes a bit more effort to prepare, you should definitely opt for fresh instead of canned clams! The reason is simple: Fresh clams simply have a flavor that's hard to beat — oceanic and briny, thanks to their natural seawater content, which adds a unique depth of flavor to the chowder. Plus, it's briny enough that you don't need to add any extra salt at all! Canned clams lack this briny taste since most of their natural se...

I'll share why it's not your average zoo, but first, you'll want my insider tips for buying discount San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets through authorized sellers, including access to my exclusive promo code for 1-Day tickets .

Imaginarium appears on Animal Planet TV show 'Tanked' - News-Press

Image
The guys from "Tanked" didn't have it easy installing an aquarium at the Imaginarium Science Center. The 3,200-gallon aquarium got scratched and gouged during its cross-country trip from Las Vegas to Fort Myers in an 18-wheeler truck. The 20 species of saltwater fish had to be flown to Miami instead of Southwest Florida International Airport, thanks to weight and size restrictions. And a forklift ended up damaging a pillar inside the science center. "It was really tight quarters," says Wayde King, who stars with fellow aquarium builder Brett Raymer on the popular Animal Planet reality show. "There were a lot of hiccups." But, somehow, King and Raymer managed to pull it off. "We got it in," King says. "We got it done. It was a great feeling." The resulting aquarium makes its national debut Friday night on the TV show. "Tanked" airs at 10 p.m. Shelby Baucom, interim director for t...
