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
