NVM Review

By Warren Rojas

The mysterious crested treasure chest reveals a triple threat of homemade shrimp salad (chock-full of jumbo shrimp and chopped celery) shoveled into a hollowed out cantaloupe—or pineapple, but the crisp melon is better—and surrounded by carefully arranged cantaloupe spears protruding from a bed of mixed greens.

New England Clam Chowder - Top Notch

By Warren Rojas

The Fish Market folks bill it as their “world famous” house recipe, but this is a New England clam chowder through and through. The kitchen appears to favor a thick, butter-rich broth and certainly doesn’t skimp on the fresh clams, a one-two punch that gives this chowder a definite edge. Best of all, a generous portion of the heartwarming soup is just $3.50, all the time.

Clams: Loads of chewy clams in every bite

Broth: The savory stock is extra creamy and brimming with fresh vegetables

Bonus: A complimentary bowl of fresh oyster crackers accompanies every order of soup
