RI chowder is da best for when you feel icky sticky ill and I've been working on perfecting the making of it for a few years now. Got to get the right mixture of quahogs to steamers and I just haven't done it yet; still have time.
Gotta say that Menemsha is a blast from my past name and unfortunately I've never been there or anywhere in Chilmark. Used to bicycle camp on the island and mostly explored Edgartown, Oak Bluff and the Haven. There was a limit on how far the legs would take you, LOL. Stayed in a now long closed campground probably in Tisbury so food shopping was normally a straight run. I need to get back there with a car, LOL.
I have the recipe from Abbott's--they published in a little newsletter thingie. My copy looks like it's been through the war, but it is SO GOOD!
And actually, Carolina Chowder is also broth-based, but ironically, I haven't had it down here. I'm too busy ordering the Calabash seafood, I guess. We don't go out to eat very often, and my kids aren't big on seafood. Which is a shame, we live 10 minutes from the ocean.
