It's the only type I'd enjoy eating the most. But it's so hard to find at most restaurants we frequent. I can't even find canned one. Why so?
For a more traditional Yankee clam chowder look for Snow's. You'd be surprised how many restaurants use it solely or as a base.
If you really like the 'portuguese' style just add some whole canned or jarred tomatoes to the Snow's. If you want real die hard portuguese or Azorean chowder add kale. maybe even some chorico. (course, now you don't even need the clams because you're making poor man's stew) :-)
