If you are near a Jason's Deli here in the states, try their corn chowder. Kind of spicy with an excellent flavour. One of my favourites.

Doogers Seafood in Seaside, Oregon, had a really yummy clam chowder

And now for something completely different -- don't laugh -- I had the soup and salad special at a Red Robin last week and the clam chowder was very good! Didn't taste canned, wasn't potato chowder with clams waved over it, had lots of clams, and was flavorful. Just completely unexpected.

I also LOVED Gilbert's chowder. I believe we ordered it in the bread bowl! So good.

I also really enjoy the clam chowder at Randazzo's in Brooklyn, NY. It is the last of the real seafood restaurants on the water in Sheepshead Bay.

I make a lobster bisque every Christmas eve. After almost two decades of tinkering, it's gotten REALLY good and I have never had anywhere near its equal anywhere. This and the clam sauce thread has me salivating.

The Great Chowder Cook Off in Newport, RI on June 2

http://www.newportwaterfrontevents.c...wder-cook-off/

is a great place to go and try dozens of chowders of all types, some are excellent, some taste like they came from a can.
If I'm not mistaken, it has been won multiple times by a fellow with a restaurant in Cedar Key, Fl - Tony's chowder is excellent, if somewhat non-traditional. I think cheese is the secret ingredient, but I cannot be sure. Cedar Key clams are a favorite, although my FIL who lives nearby still has them shipped rom Ipswich.

I didn't have lobster bisque for a long time, so when I received a bowl at Red Lobster, I took a liking to it, even though it was lumpy.. but yummy good..

Clam Chowder/Salmon Bisque
 
OK, for the best Clam Chowder, hands down it is at "Spalsh Cafe" in Pismo Beach, California. http://www.splashcafe.com/

For mouth watering Salmon Bisque, it is "Robin's" in Cambria, California. www.robinsrestaurant.com/dinner-menu
