This clam chowder recipe with wild smoked salmon is such a hugely popular restaurant recipe it is served seven days a week and almost always sells out.

It is a favorite restaurant recipe for clam chowder because it contains wild smoked salmon.

This restaurant recipe "marries" two fabulous Northwest (USA) products, clams and smoked wild salmon with just the "right" herbs and spices to bring everything together - a "happy union."

Because the restaurant recipe combines these two famous products from the Pacific Northwest (USA) and because the restaurant is located in that area, this recipe is often called "Potlatch Chowder."

"Potlatch" is a Northwest Native American term for a meeting (a gathering - a party) that celebrates the abundance of food in the Pacific Northwest.

And ...thanks to the internet and some great grocery stores no matter where you live, you have access to wild salmon and clams.
