Stuffed clams (or stuffies) are popular in New England, especially in Rhode Island and the adjacent South Coast of Massachusetts.[1] It consists of a breadcrumb and minced clam mixture that is baked on the half shell of a quahog hard shell clam.[2][3][4][5][6] Ingredients beyond bread crumbs vary, but often include stock (reserved from the liquid in which the clams were streamed), as well as onion, celery, and pork fat, often either bacon or Portuguese sausages, such as chouriço or linguiça.[1] Herbs are often included.[1][5] Some recipes include white wine, garlic, and red pepper.[1] The dish is sometimes served with lemon wedges and a vinegar-based hot sauce.[1]
The composition of the stuffies reflects both Yankee sensibilities on thriftiness, as well as influences from Portuguese and Cape Verdean Americans who settled in coastal New England.[1] The dish has been called a tavern food.[1]

"The true revelation of my time at Oyster, though, was the "stuffie," a quahog clam chopped up and mixed with bread crumbs, celery, herbs, and chorizo and then baked in its shell. The crispy crumbs that stick to the side of the shell, what the French call the gratin, are particularly delicious. I have since learned that stuffies come from Rhode Island. I don't know why Rhode Islanders don't brag about them more."
