  • I don't know where it is originally from, but it is quite usual for the restaurants around Monterey to serve Clam chowder, it is a thick soup that made from a variety of ingredients, obviously containing clams.

    Most restaurants on the pier allow you to sample it in a small cup.

    It is also often server in a carved bread bowl.
