Whether you prefer the red, tomato-based Manhattan clam chowder or New England’s signature creamier alternative, chowder lovers often flock to Bigelow’s New England Fried Clams to have the best of both worlds. Located in Rockville Centre, Bigelow’s has been a staple of Long Island’s dining scene since 1939. What makes their chowder stand out? Patrons point to the freshness of the seafood ingredients, the texture of the soup, and how filling it is. In addition to their chowders, Bigelow’s is also famous for its Ipswich Clams and hand-cut fries. The restaurant is often bustling with seafood connoisseurs year-round and in the summer. Diners take advantage of the heated patio, which allows for a prime outdoor eating experience while chowing down on their chowder.

It’s a food battle that dates back to about 1939: Manhattan clam chowder vs. New England clam chowder. Bigelow’s New England Fried Clams has been around since the start of that food war between the red, tomato-based Manhattan variety and the white, cream-based New England type. Not much has changed at the restaurant since it opened its doors. Luckily, that means customers who prefer one chowder variety over the other can merely opt for whichever one suits their fancy because Bigelow’s carries both kinds – and both of them are delicious. The only decision you have to make aside from Manhattan or New England is whether you want it in a cup, a bowl or a quart!
