These five spots met our chowder criteria.
In my search for the best clam chowder in Boston, I bounced around the North End, the Seaport, and various other neighborhoods to find the perfect version of one of the city’s favorite foods. These were my criteria for selection:I tried chowder from a dozen restaurants, and, though there were some palatable examples containing canned clams, the best examples were prepared with fresh ones. They're briny, slightly sweet, and more tender than their canned brethren.
Given these standards, some of the chowders I tried, and even enjoyed, in the course of my research didn't make the cut. I discovered that Boston Chowda Co.'s version, for instance, appears to be made with canned clams and stock; messages sent to the restaurant asking for confirmation of the ingredient list met with no response.
Remarkably, all of Legal’s clam chowder is cooked in a single commissary kitchen and distributed to individual restaurants. Executive Chef Rich Vellante told me the recipe is a secret."It’s like [the liqueur] Chartreuse—three people have three different parts of the recipe," he joked. Vellante did reveal that Legal’s clam chowder recipe starts with fish stock, which they make in-house, and is finished with half-and-half. Sticking with centuries of tradition, Legal uses salt pork in its clam chowder."It imparts great flavor and provides a balance between the salinity of the clams and fish stock," said Vellante.
