For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Do not overcook the clams, as they can become tough. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The amount of salt required will depend on the saltiness of the clam juice. This chowder is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
