    This easy clam dip recipe is creamy, savory, and packed with flavor. You only need four ingredients to make it: canned clams, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and scallions. Serve it with crackers or vegetables. It’s the perfect holiday appetizer.

    This clam dip is a Thanksgiving staple at my friend’s house. Every year, she makes at least five batches of it. The recipe comes from the Doxsee Sea Clam Company, a now-closed Long Island clam business.

    While she’s always raved about the dip, I never got around to trying it myself—until this year. I regret waiting so long! The dip is everything she said it would be: rich, flavorful, and utterly irresistible. After making a batch, I found myself standing in the kitchen, spooning it straight into my mouth, and then heading back to the fridge for “just one more taste.”

    A note about the recipe.

    The original recipe calls for a 3 ounce block of cream cheese. Since cream cheese is no longer sold in those small blocks, I’ve increased the recipe to use an 8 ounce block. I also swapped in scallions for the chopped onions, since I prefer their milder, more delicate flavor in dips.
