We first went there as part of a quest for lobster rolls. It's famous for those as well as people watching and fried seafood. But with a name like The Clam Shack they have to have great chowder, right? One size - $9.95 There are plenty of fresh clams in the The Clams Shack's chowder, but maybe not enough clam juice in the broth. Maximum cream! In fact maybe too much cream flavor and not enough clam. The thickness is perfect though. Potatoes were a little off, some bites they seemed over-cooked and other bites they seemed under-cooked. Nothing exciting here, just the basic Westminster Oyster Crackers. Simplicity here, just clams, potatoes, cream, black pepper. The Clam Shack has the best lobster roll period. It is served on a bun and available with mayo, butter, or, and this is the correct answer, both!
The Verdict After my first bite of chowder at The Clam Shack, I thought this was going to be my first four star chowder, and it is very good. Then I had a couple of bites of below average potato, and as I considered it more it was actually too creamy and not clammy enough. All in all, it's a great chowder, but can't compete with their lobster roll.
