Measure out ¾ cup broth in a heatproof measuring glass. With blender on low speed, slowly pour broth into egg mixture and blend to combine. Whisking constantly, slowly pour egg mixture into pot. Arrange 1 lb. flaky white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or snapper), cut into 4" pieces, in pot, overlapping if needed, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add ¼ cup heavy cream and 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout and clams have opened, about ⏱️ 4 minutes; discard any clams that haven’t opened. Remove from heat and stir in 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley and/or dill. Taste and add more salt if needed.
