Baked stuffed quahogs: chopped quahog meat, seasoned breadcrumbs, chorizo or linguica, sometimes peppers and onion, packed into the cleaned half-shell and baked.
The stuffie is Rhode Island's Portuguese-and-Italian-influenced take on the Narragansett Bay quahog. Cape Verdean and Portuguese fisherfolk in Fox Point and along the South Coast built the dish around chourico and pao, the bread-and-sausage-spiced version that became canonical. Quahog supplies stayed strong through the 20th century, and the stuffie became a year-round shore-and-bar staple. The clam chowder, clam cake and stuffie trio is the canonical Rhode Island shore plate.
