There are enough seafood restaurants in Northern California to rival even New England. We’ve got to-go spots for fried seafood, little hole-in-the-wall seafood shacks, fine dining establishments, and more serving up all your favorite fishy dishes. When it comes to clam chowder, though, we feel like one spot stands above the rest. On a chilly day, nothing can warm you up like a nice big bowl of warm clam chowder. One eatery that serves it up better than anywhere else in Northern California is the Fishetarian Fish Market in Bodega Bay.
Clam chowder originated in the Northeastern U.S., but fortunately for those that love it, it’s spread all over the country and you can now get it just about anywhere.
Fishetarian Fish Market
There are a number of great purveyors of clam chowder in California, but we absolutely love Fishetarian Fish Market’s take on the dish.

There are a few inside tables here, but most opt to sit outside and enjoy the views and great weather.

Oysters, Ahi tuna poke, crab, fish n chips: this fish market has got it all, and you can even get it with a side of locally-brewed beer or wine.

We think the real star of the show, though, is the restaurant’s Boston-style clam chowder. This stuff is delicious! It’s won multiple local awards and is a favorite of many.
Fishetarian Fish Market This clam chowder is lighter than most, gluten-free, and loaded down with lots of vegetables. Try it served up in a sourdough bread bowl for a real treat.
Whether you want the clam chowder or opt for something else, dining here is a wonderful experience. The outdoor picnic tables give a great view of the bay, and you may even see playful seals or diving seagulls.
