Get Your Seafood Fix

One of the advantages of living by the ocean is access to fresh seafood. And clams, as well as, of course, clam chowder are coastal favorites. At the annual Bodega Bay Chowder Day in Bodega Bay, local chefs serve their iterations of the soup, and the tasters get to vote for the ones they like best. The popular annual event will be held this year on January 25, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. There are two tasting groups, one at 10 a.m. and the other at noon. Tasting tickets are $15 and are available at visitbodegabayca.com/chowder-day. Note that participants do not walk, but drive from restaurant to restaurant. And because so many people come, and Bodega Bay is a small town with limited parking, carpooling is recommended.
