The Best Store-Bought Canned Clam Chowder Comes From This New England Brand
By Laura Oakley
After ranking 11 canned clam chowder based on texture, flavor, balance, quality of ingredients and seasoning, Bar Harbor New England clam chowder reigned supreme.
Our reviewers found this chowder to be velvety smooth with a texture similar to béchamel. It had a sweet, buttery flavor and enough surf clams and potatoes to satisfy our expectations.
The first two ingredients are surf clams and clam juice, which is no doubt responsible for the fresh clam flavor that carried our reviewer's senses back to the Atlantic coast.
It is made with real butter, rice flour, and dried milk to achieve that creamy feel. According to the brand, sustainable, wild seafood is used in small, handcrafted batches.
