Please add your favourite seafood chowder or soup stories, recipes, reviews and tips here.

It's chowder weather here and time to ask Chowder lovers about your best places, experiences, suppliers, home-made recipes and information sources.

It's an old story, but I'll never forget going to a restaurant at Monterey wharf (we were only going for a walk!) and chatting with a fellow Aussie who comes back to this place and stocks up! Maybe not any more with the liquid restrictions, but I's bet he still checks it through.

What's your taste? Boston-style, something creamier or perhaps spicier?

I'm up for some home-cook experiments, so please share your recipes and tips!
