About

This is a dish that exists in all its variants up and down the towns and villages of the New England coast. I believe that it came with the original settlers, the Pilgrim Fathers, from the Lincolnshire coast and was served as a communal shellfish stew. It has as many varieties as you can think of and you can add almost anything you like to it. Whatever you choose, it makes a very satisfying shared soup.
