The other half worked close to Inman Square in Boston and used to walk over to Legal with a group of co-workers for their chowder, so we know chowder.
I was so bxxx xxxt to have paid good money for this Legal "stuff" that I contacted Legal, they in turn passed me over to some poor woman who was working the desk at a company that now packages Legal Seafood Chowder. She told me the chowder is made by various companies and they have no idea who is making it, just put into plastic cartons, two to a packet, and shipped out. She sent us a check to cover the cost and that's "all she wrote". So at least now we know that Legal no longer makes their own chowder in spite of the folksy family blub on their packaging. Just one more great company cutting corners on their product.

Plenty of good suggestions for Fish & Chips, thanks folks...we will eventually try them all, this is a lifelong quest. Oh boy, the clam chowder subject...discussing chowder preferences has led to several wars I believe. I never really expect to find decent NE clam chowder anywhere, so when I do find one that pleases my palate, it's a significant dining event. I've had two clam chowders since moving to Florida that are more than good - they are both really good and also quite different from each other. So, I have a pretty wide comfort range for grading clam chowder; I'll not tell where these chowders are served...to protect myself from the required onslaught of criticism that follows publishing chowder high grades and recommendations. So don't tell anyone about the chowder at Bunky's (Rt. A1A, Indiatlantic) or Tony's in Cedar Key...you didn't hear about them from me.
