Ingredients:

  • 20 large mussels
  • 4 cups large clams
  • 1 1/2 lbs lobsters
  • 5 cups of diced bakers potatoes (they keep from sogging better)
  • 1/2 gallon salt water (if not
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp starch
  • 2 1/2-3 cups milk (2 cans can ) or 2 1/2-3 cups half-and-half , is ok
  • 1 cup fresh chopeed chives (about 1/4 inch long)

Directions:

  1. Place clams, muscles in pot with lobster on top to steam( if they are in the shell). Add sea water till shellfish is half under or (water beer mixture); cover.
  2. Boil at medium-high till all shell fish is open. Turn to lowest setting, cover and let sit (lobster will take longer and will cook while setting). If you are using canned ingredients, skip this step.
  3. Now in a separate medium-size pot add remaining sea water or beer mixture. Bring to boil. Add potatoes, corn, onion, salt, pepper, and celery.
  4. Bring to slow boil.
  5. Now we take our shellfish from the pot (DO NOT DRAIN) remove from shell keeping separate piles. Clean mussels and remove bellies from both. Dice into small chunks. Now make three piles-1 lobster, 1 clam, 1 mussel. Make a visual to see if piles are close to same size (mussels will be much less, it's ok).
  6. Add seafood to potatoes; let boil.
  7. With a ladle scoop broth from the boiled clams being careful not to scrape bottom or stir it up and add to keep a constant boil but not to drown the mixture. You will use most of it though. Let boil for 20 minutes or so.
  8. Bring to lowest setting. Add milk bring back to low boil. Stir, stir, stir. Add sifted flour and starch mix. It should thicken real quick. Add salt & pepper to taste. Remove from heat stirring often till cool.
  9. Serve with fresh sprinkled chives as a garnish.
