OT: Best Clam Chowder in CT

Hello, Mrs. HuskyHawk! Thank you for your interest in Boneyard food threads.

Please know that I don't blame you for your son's underdeveloped tastebuds. I'm sure that you were well-meaning when you served your family deep dish clam pizza with ranch dressing.

Mrs. Husky Hawk has no idea who Niels is, except for Niels Lofgren perhaps. She's not a college sports fan at all. She does prefer New England Clam Chowder, and despises the fake RI pizza. And, sadly, we don't have a son.

*Nils* Lofgren. But the attempt is admirable to fit the narrative.
 
hey @NielsisGood check out my delicious feast from Arbys last week.

Look at that incredible Pork Belly. Look at that incredibly crafted amuse-bouche (buffalo chicken slider) I got to titillate the senses before digging into the pork belly main event.

Sorry for partying. Not sorry.

Yeah, it was all I had to work with. Music she knows since her dad was a pretty big record wholesaler in the Boston area.

As a long-time disc jockey in the Boston market, the independent record store was (and continues to be) a vital part of my existence since 1970. I have found very few retail experiences where the owner and/or staff (and usually the owner - almost by definition, these are hands-on entities) have such intimate and passionate knowledge of their product and of their customer's needs.

A case in point:

In the 80's, a local record distribution outlet named "Peter's Records One Stop" (PROS) used to open up early on Saturday mornings for local Disc Jockeys. It was totally unadvertised, but the owner developed a solid loyal following in the mobile, nightclub, and FM communities that way. In 1987, I moved out of the area, and returned home in 1992. On a whim, I met a friend at PROS on a Saturday morning...and as soon as I walked in the door, the owner flagged me down and started waxing enthusiastically about a brand new CD which would be "perfect" for me - as if five years hadn't elapsed since my last visit! And as it turns out, he was dead-on with his recommendation....

The Star Cut Bun ™ would be right at home at at the finest Paris Boulangerie. Sorry @NielsisGood is good doesnt get it.

How would you describe your Boneyard persona? Should we open that issue up to others? "Dickish" and "humorless" comes to mind.

I'm not really trying to have a "Boneyard persona" man. Sorry to upset your fantasy playtime bud.

Do you just wait for that guy to post in one of the food threads so that you can try to turn your nose up toward him? All the attempted elitist bull crap from you toward him over variations of food dishes is bizarre.

We need you on the Cesspool. Please consider this a special invitation. It's the first ever issued. Quite an honor.

Saybrook Fish House in Canton serves a nice NE Clam Chowda. My cousin owns the place, so I make it a point to stop in every now and then. It never disappoints.

Remember when Vin Baker owned the Saybrook one?

Why didn't you answer my question from before? What's the deal with the try hard foodie, and especially Arby's lover gimmicks?

A man loves food.

What's the issue.

So you wouldn't say there's any difference between literally everyone else discussing/nominating their particular favorite establishments and your literal omnipresence and attempts to moderate/judge each submission? You know there's plenty of sites that are actually dedicated to this type of discussion, right? Why wouldn't you just try one of those on for size? Having this obsessive foodie/Arby's gimmick is rather out of place on a forum meant for UConn basketball discussion.

Has anyone mentioned that seafood stew/chowder is far superior to any form of clam chowder in any event?

When we went to Nova Scotia for a week several years ago we had seafood stew at every stop, sometimes twice a day. Always different, always great. Same thing when we were in Ireland and England last summer. Basically, whatever seafood is in season locally, with fresh herbs, broth and a touch of cream. I don't see it on enough menus here, but when I do I get it and it is almost always excellent.
 
Good point, I think I would take a good shrimp & corn chowder over just about any clam chowder.

Something that is awesome to do in the summer is to grab a lobster roll and chowder @ Lobster landing in Branford and then walk across to Stoney Creek and grab a few pops there. Incredibly good time and fun place.

The one in Branford is the Lobster Shack. Lobster Landing is in Clinton and has a better lobster roll imo, but no chowder (and no nearby brewery to walk to, but it is on the water and BYOB, and has a killer sausage and peppers, too).

I'll take a Bermuda fish chowder over clam chowder any day. Of course, now I have to . . .
 
Honestly, some of the best clam chowder I have had is at Sherwood Diner in Westport, CT.... I don't know where they get it from but from July-September I always get it as an appetizer before a regular meal.
