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.
Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery has been attracting a crowd with its famous fried clams since 1956. Their clam chowder is exceptionally fresh with a good amount of clams. Only the thin texture of the chowder and the high quality of the rest of the menu keep this chowder from being a star.
The clam chowder at Gilbert's Chowder House in Portland falls short. It lacks the sweet clam flavor, has a grainy consistency, and too much bacon. However, the location is great, and other menu items like lobster grilled cheese and fish sandwich make it worth a visit.
