"South Bay and Harbor Cities residents know that one of its most beloved restaurants exists on top of the water, specializing in one thing: clam chowder. Eater’s regular contributor, Brian Addison, wrote about the Chowder Barge more extensively, sharing its confirmed and unverifiable folklore. Ask staff about whether or not the boat was used during the filming of the 1935 classic film Mutiny on the Bounty. The Chowder Barge may, or may not be 100 years old. What’s certain is the menu with its signature dish: a double clam chowder bowl with fried clams on top. The Barge’s garlic bread always satisfies, as does the fried fish sandwich, tuna melt, burger prepared with freshly ground beef, and fish and chips. Quenching one’s thirst is easy here with Jarritos soda, beer, wine, and Micheladas on hand." - Eater Staff
