Location Baltimore, Frisby St. just off 33rd and down the street from Memorial Stadium. Time sometime in the 60's. My cousin Eleanor would have party's at her house. She always had them. Don't know where she got them, but man did I love those. Wish they would make a comeback.

We just bought some Oyster crackers and I was telling my wife that my grandparents, lived in Methuen, Mass, had these crackers I used to like and thought they came in a can. It was driving me nuts I could almost taste them but couldn't put my finger what it was, and then hit this blog after Google to the rescue. But now I'm bummed out that they are long gone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168195553654133682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-84817492885216338022017-03-22T22:58:45.639-04:002017-03-22T22:58:45.639-04:00Someone needs to start making them again..My Mom a...Someone needs to start making them again..My Mom and I talk about them all the time..They were the best...

Snow's Onion Crisps were Fantastic and I couldn't get enough. I'd love to have some today! If anyone is interested, todays Baked Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips have a very similar, IMHO, texture. The ridges are a little coarser than the Snows Crisps, but if you use your imagination and try one, it may re-kindle the memory. I just had a Ruffles and it made me think of Snow's Clam Crisps, that's when I found this blog - an internet search.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />GGAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108668486545964131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-36080728170476396692015-09-19T12:21:35.454-04:002015-09-19T12:21:35.454-04:00I've thought about these for years, as everyon...I've thought about these for years, as everyone else has said! I googled, and landed here. They were my very favorite snack, but I didn't get them often as Mom's food budget was very, very limited. But I begged a lot!<br />I agree that with the wide range of odd chip flavors currently available, it would be awesome if the recipe could be found and put into production.daviannghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624883027269360582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-37023622875132121902015-08-06T13:14:38.384-04:002015-08-06T13:14:38.384-04:00These would be a staple item when our dad would br...These would be a staple item when our dad would bring us kids to the hunting camp in Warerboro Maine.

My grandmother was a Snow, so I had the fortune of having "experienced" them often as a child. I really wish the recipe would resurface, so we can all enjoy that tasty little treat in a can!

I still remember the location of where they sat on the shelf in that small grocery store in Rhode Island. It all makes sense that it was a Snow's product. And now sadly, I know their fate. I wish they would bring them back. I grew up in Rhode Island and remember buying these clam flavored crisps. My girlfriend and I used to go to this one market and buy them as we walked home from school in the 60's. They were the best. Please bring them back.WJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898120422167397895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-75678145233951927932012-08-31T16:46:58.285-04:002012-08-31T16:46:58.285-04:00Just reading about Snow's Clam Chips makes my ...Just reading about Snow's Clam Chips makes my mouth water.

I love it where someone commented "I think the USA is ready for a new chip..."; this "Clam Crisp" lover couldn't agree more. I'm a professional chef, 37 years in the business and someday (sooner than later) I plan on spending some time trying to figure out the recipe. What a great treat to RE-introduce to my brothers & sisters, their children & grandchildren. They were "simply delicious"! Thanks again Dave.

They were absolutely delicious, and kept for years, lol, as we had found some stashed away in my grandmother's cellar in the 70s, opened them and pigged out!
