When you have a favorite kind of food, you learn where the best places are to find it. Here are my favorite places to find great clam chowder.

Believe it or not, I was not a big seafood fan when I first moved to the Tampa area many years ago. But, when you live in an area with so many great seafood restaurants, you'll find so much to choose from.

Now, seafood is the major part of my diet. (I'm still not a sushi fan. That may still take a few years). I love New England style clam chowder and my favorite is Shell’s clam chowder. Many of y'all will agree but there are so many great restaurants that serve it. Check my list and see if your fav is on it and tell us one of the great places I might have missed.

Shell's Seafood

Since back in the 1980's, it's been a staple for Tampa seafood.

Crabby Bill's

Pinchers - Wesley Chapel

Being in Wiregrass, it's so easy to get there for me. Also, it's right there waiting for me when Wiregrass hosts the Mason Dixon Christmas Wish Car Show.

Mr. & Mrs. Crab

It makes a great starter before that boil.

Leverock's Seafood

Another restaurant that has stood the test of time in the Bay area.
