Depends on what you like. It's like asking what the best kind of BBQ is. There's white chowder, red chowder, chowder with milk, chowder with cream, chowder with broth, etc.

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 you ever find yourself out West, there is the Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach CA. They'll even ship it to you.

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 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.
