When it comes to New England’s specialty dishes, one of the most popular is New England Clam Chowder. The ultimate Clam Chowder recipe (from Allrecipes) in our neck of the woods is a truly decadent dish. A cream-based, savory soup that includes all the traditional chowder ingredients; chunks of potatoes, celery, diced carrots, cream, and of course, delicious, tender clams. Some love to add crispy bacon as well, for a tasty garnish.
And sometimes, a little red wine vinegar is added right before it’s served. Many chefs and seasoned cooks use this trick for that extra kick of flavor. Also, I personally can not eat my New England Clam Chowder without oyster crackers on top! Here are some places in New England where they are known for and serve delicious, homemade Clam Chowder.
Let’ s start with Boston Chowda, located at 30 River Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts where many of their delicious dishes are based on recipes handed down from generations, including their clam chowder. There is also Brown’s Lobster Pound, located at 407 NH Highway 286 in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Known as the place where all seafood lover’s must eat, when you want fresh quality seafood cooked the New England way.
