Mo's Clam Chowder

Directions

1. Well, I guess Mo's is sort of famous, in Oregon, anyway. There are several of their restaurants at various places on the Oregon coast. I was recently chatting with someone else on this list who dismissed Mo's as nothing more than a tourist trap. I suppose it is, but then the same could be said of the entire Oregon coast! I'm a transplanted Southern Californian (been here 18 years), and I'll tell you, the Oregon coast is not known for its great restaurants. There are some to be found, but you really have to search them out. Mo's is one of the few places which has more than one location (besides McDonald's and Taco Bell!), so they must be doing something right. You can even buy their chowder base in the markets here.
2. Anyway, here is what is supposed to be their recipe:
3. Saute/fry bacon till brown; drain off fat. Add in onion and saute/fry till limp.
4. Stir in flour. Add in potatoes. Cook about 15 min till potatoes are soft.
5. Add in clams, lowfat milk and seasonings. Serve warm with dollop of butter. Sprinkle with paprika.
6. About 6 servings
7. This is really good as you know. I like to add in dehydrated parsley and lemon pepper seasoning, too.
