Coquina Clam Chowder

Ingredients:
Fresh coquinas
1 small carrot, grated finely
1 Sm. stalk of celery, grated finely
Water
Pinch of salt
White pepper, opt.
2 potatoes, chopped finely


Preparation:
Fill large kettle 1/3 full of clean, fresh coquinas, completely cover with cold water. Bring to a boil (Coquinas will open up and fill kettle.) Boil 3-5 minutes. Drain broth into smaller pan. If potatoes are used, add to broth. Return to heat (medium). Add grated carrot and celery. Season to taste and serve. Coquinas have a very delicate flavor and are best as a fairly clear broth. To gather coquinas, make a square or rectangular shadow box, cover bottom with 1/4 inch screening to allow sand and debris to sift through.
