The key ingredient for the Portuguese chowder is Linguica. Second choice would be chorizo ( easier to obtain).Thanks…I think I’m making it this week…we have decent live clams in the Seattle area.

So...I researched Portuguese clam chowder and discovered it is from New England and predates the white chowder when the Portuguese came to southern MA to fish...my grandpa used to work at the naval shipyard at Fall River and I remember the Portuguese influence (but not the chowder) there. I'll make this in a few days...
I'm putting both in...spanish chorizo, which is denser and spicer than mexican.The key ingredient for the Portuguese chowder is Linguica. Second choice would be chorizo ( easier to obtain).
