Here ya go...
Ed's Stuffies

8-10 oz.can of minced clams (if you don't have access to fresh)
Clam juice,small bottle (again, if you don't have fresh. I save my water when I boil my clams for this purpose)
1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use half Italian, half Panko)
1/4 cup water (this is where I use the clam juice)
1/4 cup oil
Little bit salt,pepper, garlic powder,onion powder (adjust to your taste later, this is the basic. You can doctor them up to your taste in later batches)
12 or so clam shell halves. (sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on the size of the shell and how many I make at once)
Paprika
Couple slices of slab bacon

I prefer to hand chop my clams, and I have a lot of clam chunks in my stuffies.

Mix ingredients in a bowl, except bacon and paprika.
If it looks a little dry, add a bit more oil or water.(you want the mix a bit "wet",so that it spreads easily with the back of a spoon,but not too wet)
Pack mix into clam shell halves, put small bacon piece on top and sprinkle with paprika.
Place on baking sheet
Put in oven set at 375 deg in middle rack.

Bake uncovered for 30 mins., or untilcrust is golden brown.
Enjoy with a wobble pop or 2.

As I said, this is basic. I add other thingslike a few chopped chives or parsley when the spirits move me.
As said, I hand cut my clams compared to others who use a food procesor. I like them chunky myself.

When I have a batch of fresh clams, I boil them in a large pot, just covered with water with some Old Bay in the mix. Watch the pot when it boils and adjust the heat. They boil over real easy. This is the water I save.

Ordering the food again soon but from a different place. Just waiting for the refund from the 1st company

 

No worries my best days are everyday except Wednesday

 

OK. I'll make sure it's delivered on a Wednesday then!

 

not again?

 

No but permits are required. The company I ordered them from said they had them but I went to order from a different company and I got a totally different story. Now after calling around more I'm getting even more different answers. Trying to figure it all out I've been calling and emailing the State of Hawaii and haven't gotten in touch with them yet

 

Damn my shitty state

 

I swear I bought some old bay in anticipation yesterday

 

I'm trying buddy I promise! Get someone over in the DOA to contact me. Lol

 

OMG they responded! Jeremy I'll forward you the email tomorrow, see what you want to do

 

Sounds good you have my email right?

 

Yes I do. Sending it in a little bit
