This creamy clam dip is a classic party dip. This easy-to-make dip requires only 10-minutes of prep and tastes best when served with plain ol’ potato chips!

Notes
Make dip at least 30-minutes ahead of time and store in the fridge as this gives the flavors a chance to mix together for a delicious dip.
If you are bringing this dip to an event where some guests aren't fond of fish, place clams in a blender with the juice and pulse until the flesh is so tiny it will be undetectable in the dip!
Bring sour cream and mayonnaise close to room temperature so the dip comes together quickly and easily.
For a little kick, add in a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce. I like Tabasco sauce myself.
If you don't have chives, feel free to use sliced green onion.
Feel free to swap in canned smoked fish, canned chopped oysters, or canned shrimp.
Add in a couple teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper savory flavor.
If you want to use fresh clams, you will need to prep them before adding to the dip.
