Ok, so I’ve been visiting Gloucester for nearly 15 years now for my yearly vacation. I fell in love with the place on my first trip, and can’t help but continue to return year after year 🙂 The first years I visited we stayed at Cape Ann’s Marina Resort, and loved the convenience as Yankee Fleet was docked right there and the Gull Restaurant was right there. Unfortunately, the Gull is no more….but even in all my years of visiting I have yet to find another restaurant with seafood chowder like at the Gull. I can’t even make anything myself near as good…..my local fishmonger makes one similar but it’s just not the same. So….any suggestions for restaurants I may have missed who have kick ass seafood chowder reminiscent of the Gull? We’ll be visiting for the Schooner Festival so we’re hoping to also score some awesome chowder and I know if ANYONE knows, it would be your subscribers. Thanks in advance! P.S. Look for me in my Good Morning Gloucester hat September 4-12 — I’m sure I’ll hit Sugar Mags at least once 🙂

Good Morning Gloucester 
Easy question …. Right across the street from the late Gull. The Causeway’s haddock chowder has just the right proportions of the essential basic ingredients. The Virgilio’s semolina bread served with it makes the whole deal perfect.

I’ve tried the Causeway’s haddock chowder….just not the same. It’s been a few years though, maybe I should stop back 🙂

Causeway chowder is a winner. For what the Gull served, try LobstaLand–same family (next generation) running it.

Causeway chowder is excellent without question. For what you remember from The Gull, try LobstaLand–same family (next generation) owns and runs it.

You have to go a little way, but Farnham’s in Essex has one of the best seafood chowders I have had anywhere. For clam chowder my favorite is at Charlie’s Restaurant in Gloucester.

Maybe its time to switch it up! Get a bowl of half n half (half red, half white) chowder at Halibut Point. Awesome!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I do love Farnham’s as well, I’ve been to LobstaLand but didn’t try their chowder! Will definitely have to do that now. See you in a couple of weeks!
