    Title: Dave's Stuffed Clams
    Categories: Seafood
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 md Quahog clams
    4 oz Ritz crackers (1 sleeve)
    6 1/2 oz Can claw crab meat
    6 1/2 oz Can chopped clams
    1/2 c Butter
    3 cl Garlic
    1/2 ts Parsley
    Salt & pepper; to taste
    Paprika

    Scrub the clams well and put them in loosely in a covered saucepan to
    steam. Make sure they're not crowded.

    While clams are steaming, empty the sleeve of crackers into a food
    processor and pulse them until you have fine crumbs. Place the crumbs
    in a large bowl.

    Remove clam meat from the shells, being sure to reserve the shells.
    Coarsely chop the clam meat and add to the bowl of crumbs. Add the
    well-drained crab meat and chopped clams to the bowl along with the
    parsley, just the barest hint of salt, and a liberal grind or two of
    pepper. Toss well to combine and set aside.

    Press garlic cloves into a small saute pan. A #3 cast iron pan is
    great for this! Over medium-low heat, add the stick of butter and
    allow it to melt into the crushed garlic, simmering but not browning
    it. Cook gently until the garlic is soft and the butter is just
    starting to foam pour all but 2 tb butter mixture into the crumbs and
    mix well with a fork to combine.

    Prepare the clam shells by pulling them apart from one another at the
    hinge and rinsing out any remaining grit Stuff each clamshell half
    with a heaping mound of stuffing. Arrange stuffed clams on a pie
    plate. Brush tops with reserved garlic butter and sprinkle liberally
    with paprika. Bake in a moderate (350?F) oven 20 to 25 minutes until
    the top is lightly toasted.

    Title: Cod with Potato Crust
    Categories: Seafood, Potatoes, Wine, Dairy, Cheese
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lb Potatoes; peeled, cooked
    1/4 c Butter
    2 tb Light cream
    1 lg Egg; beaten
    1 1/2 lb Cod filets
    2 tb Dry white wine
    2 ts Lemon juice
    Salted water
    2 tb Flour
    1/2 lb Shrimp; cooked
    1/2 c Gruyere cheese; grated
    Salt & pepper
    1 tb Milk

    In a bowl, mix the potatoes with 2 tbsp butter, cream, and
    egg. Whip until fluffy.

    Place fish in a large frying pan with wine, lemon juice,
    and enough salted water to barely cover. Bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Carefully lift the
    fish from the pan, and reserve cooking liquid. Flake fish
    coarsely, removing any skin.

    Preheat oven to 450ºF/230ºC.

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter; blend in flour to make
    a roux. Over medium heat, add 1 cup of the reserved
    cooking liquid, stirring constantly until the sauce
    thickens. Add shrimp and grated cheese and simmer until
    cheese melts and shrimp is heated through. Season to taste
    with salt and pepper.

    Place fish in baking dish; add enough sauce to moisten.
    Cover fish with whipped potatoes. Brush potatoes with milk
    and bake for 30 minutes, or until browned.

    Serve any remaining sauce separately.
