Seattle Food Tour Stop 4: Clam Chowder

Taste Pike Place Food Tour with Seattle Food Tours

Pike Place Chowder

Oh look...the lady was nice and smiled for my picture. Haha! I remember her smiling, actually.


I like clam chowder when it's not really clam-y tasting. This was pretty darn good (I can see why it's award-winning!), but it's also soooo rich, so I don't know if I could eat a whole bowl by myself. Definitely a cup.

Mmmm clam chowder...

For us clam lovers out there, were there still a lot of clams in it? I know you said it didn't taste really fishy but a lot of that has to do with the quality of the clams as well. I'm just curious because clam chowder is must for me along the coast =)

haha Ohh..Have u tried the clam chowder at Pismo's in Fresno? Their chowder is pretty clammy, so I'm guessing you'd like it. I didn't have a lot of clams in mine, but it was a pretty small sample. All I remember was trying desperately to take a quick, clear picture (didn't work out) before the tour group moved on and also the rich, buttery flavor.

I haven't! I've only been to Pismo's once and I had the ahi poke =). Yeah I hate rushing pics and the clearest thing in it isn't the subject I wanted but everything around and behind it lol. Still looks good to me though =)
