Thanks for sharing! Rhode Island still has some great spots for clam cakes. Does anyone have any favorites?

My Dad (born in 1904) grew up in a French Canadian enclave called River Point in West Warwick. He said after Mass on Sundays, if the weather was nice, his family would go to Rocky Point for the rest of the day – taking the trolley there. Later after he was married and living in Whitinsville, MA and brought his family there maybe once a month on Saturdays – he loved the clam cakes and that chowder that came around in huge tureens. My husband and I continued to go there – first when we were dating and then later driving down from the Boston area. Then one weekend it was closed…what a loss. It was a wonderful way to spend a day…good food, amusements and maybe the beach.

Linguica is a great idea. I bet it gives the chowder a little zip! Rocky Point sure brought some fun memories. The rides and the food were one of a kind. Only in Rhode Island. Thanks for sharing!

I have been making this recipe up as I go for many years, adding a dash of this and a tsp of that. I use linguica instead of salt pork.
I knew I remembered it from somewhere as a kid. Thanks for reminding me of the place where I finally overcame my fear of roller coasters (Rocky Point Park!)

thanks for visiting! We would love to– but it’s too far from the East Coast.

What do you feel the differences are in seafood chowder in the West Coast compared to East Coast chowders?

Hello,
Your website looks most impressive.
I’m attending a Chowder Festival on Long Beach Island (this weekend).
Is your company participating in this event?
