BRIEF: “Get four 6 oz. cups of our best-selling chowders: New England Clam Chowder, Seafood Bisque, Smoked Salmon Chowder, Crab & Oyster Chowder. Sorry, no substitutions.” But the guy at the counter gladly let me substitute 1 cup with their special: Lobster & Crab! At 1 o’clock: Seafood Bisque “Delectable medley of Pacific Cod, Northwest Salmon, Bay Shrimp, flavored with fresh basil, and simmered in a creamy tomato-based broth.” At 4 o’clock: New England Clam Chowder “Meaty clams flavored with bacon, cream, and a secret blend of herbs and spices. Inducted into the Great Chowder Cook-Off Hall of Fame.” At 7 o’clock: Lobster & Crab Bisque Special of the day. I didn’t have time to snap a picture of their ingredients but it had corn niblets in it which was nice. At 10 o’clock: Seared Scallop Chowder Sweet, tender scallops seared in the kettle, served in a creamy broth, perfectly flavored with dill and lime juice. SOOT’S TAKE: My favorite was the New England Clam (perfectly balanced, full-bodied and smoky) while my least favorite was the Seafood Bisque.
