50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Stuffed Clams from Rhode Island
Stuffed clams, or “stuffies,” are a culinary icon of Rhode Island, embodying the state’s deep connection to its coastal waters. These delightful appetizers start with quahogs, large hard-shelled clams native to the region.
The clams are chopped and mixed with a savory stuffing of breadcrumbs, herbs, and sometimes linguiça or chorizo for an extra kick. They’re baked in shells, creating a perfect blend of oceanic flavors and comforting, earthy textures. A staple at seafood shacks and family gatherings, stuffies aren’t just a dish; they’re a bite-sized celebration of Rhode Island’s rich maritime heritage and local bounty.
