We received a recommendation for Cape Pier Chowder House on Bickford Island in Porpoise Harbor. The chowder has great flavor but too many potatoes and not enough clams. Even still, it's worth a visit for both the chowder and the picturesque views from Bickford Island.
The Clam Shack in Kennebunk, Maine is a popular spot known for its lobster rolls and fried seafood. Their chowder features plenty of fresh clams but the flavor is more cream than clam. While good, it doesn't overshadow their perfect lobster roll.
Shot Tower Barreled Gin comes from Baltimore Spirits Company in Maryland. I loved my visit to the distillery in 2017 when it was just getting started. Bottled at 100 proof but, an amazingly smooth and enjoyable sipping gin.
The Bancroft is a great restaurant but the chowder disappoints with lack of clams and potatoes, and overpowering onion/celery flavor. Despite good consistency and delicious oyster crackers, it isn't a chowder we would go back for. Stick with the burger or shrimp cocktail.
