OBS

Dans l'Est du Canada, ce sont surtout des myes que l'on récolte et que l'on met en conserve (soft shell clams), mais il peut également s'agir de palourdes (hard shell clams). En France, le mot chaudrée n'est pas suivi d'un déterminatif parce qu'il s'applique uniquement à la soupe de poisson charentaise, alors qu'au Canada, il désigne avant tout la soupe aux coquillages et pommes de terre d'Acadie et de Nouvelle-Angleterre.
