I love them both. Who likes it?

Both are good.

Oh yeah! Both at anytime ! :-)

Both are great. Made Noah Ark clam chowder last night. Noah Ark was a cool restaurant back in the 70 s in St Charles Missouri been tore down for progress.

I don’t think I’ve ever had oyster soup but I do love them! Clam chowder rocks. Except once I swallowed a piece of shell and it scraped me and I was in misery for a week

Just to clarify . . . it's Oyster Stew, not soup :-)

FRESH oysters, milk, butter, salt n pepper.

I'll personally go through 10 > 15 bushels from late Nov > Feb. Fix them every way imaginable and then freeze some for frying during summer :-))))

I would love to have that recipe if you would share.

Crappiekiller just google Noah Ark clam chowder recipe. Easier than me typing it out. If you have trouble finding it let me know and I will type it. Been a long time ago and I do not remember onions in recipe but may have been in it.

As long as the seafood isn’t over cooked I love both, heard that Fareway had oysters for 30 dollars a pound, if that’s true I think I can buy fresh hand shucked ones cheaper.

Anybody dig their own clams for soup?

Love both but clams aren't readily available here so no recipe .

Oyster stew is a gulf coast thing here as anyone who knows oysters knows the fresher the better. A really simple stew where subtlety is the key for amazing flavor. Saute finely diced shallots or mild onions in a little bit of butter, maybe a small bit of flour browned lightly if you want it thicker, add oysters and a bit of liquor just until they barely start to curl on the edge then your sweet milk or cream heated to a simmer.

Having grown up within reach of the Gulf I wholeheartedly agree. Overcooking seafood should be a crime.

I'll just offer one of my fav's for a late breakfast / lunch . . . FRESH sautéed Oysters, w / onions, in a little heavy cream, chopped bacon bits, dash of bell peppers, on a Thomas English Muffin (Bagels don't work well) and seasoned to your liking :-)

I'm in. Love both.

Reminds me back when I was a kid.had this at my uncle and aunts house and my uncle told me it was rattlesnake soup went home and told my mom what I had she knew better ended up calling her brother to find out what he had fed me I was way to young to know any better.

Oyster Stew or Clam Chowder....iam in

Raw oysters are the ultimate

I like both New England and Manhattan Clam Chowder and Oyster Stew. At least I always heard it called Stew and not soup, is there a difference?
