ANSWER: Sun Spots is published Monday through Saturday, not on Sunday. A columnist for another Sun Media Group newspaper, The Forecaster, wrote about the disappearance of Heluva Good Clam Dip from store shelves a few years ago. He contacted the manufacturer who stated, “Due to the recent challenges created to meet the Seafood protocol of the FDA we had to discontinue the manufacturing of the Heluva Good New England Clam Dip.” The columnist wrote: “Subsequent queries about exactly what FDA regulations Heluva Good found too onerous to comply with may have tipped the company off that I wasn’t just a frustrated customer. In any event, I didn’t get any more answers.” But the company does offer this recipe on their website:
Clam Dip at Home

Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
