Clam dip is a traditional New England condiment, popular all along the Atlantic coast of the United States. Every New Englander familiar with this dip probably has their own opinion on how to make it: with cream cheese or sour cream (or both), and what toppings to add. This classic and simple version uses cream cheese, canned clams, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Feel free to serve it with your favorite side dishes, whether potato chips, sliced vegetables, or crackers.
