Thick and creamy with abundant fresh clams, this chowder comes alongside market sandwiches and fried options at the La Jolla spot. It differs through the emphasis on ultra-fresh fish market sourcing, yielding a brighter, less heavy profile than standard diner versions. Potatoes hold their shape for bite against the soft clams, and the portion fills a sourdough bowl option nicely. The seafood-forward essence lingers warmly.
