Today is and King's Fish House - Carlsbad is a great place to stop by for a bowl!

A classic for a reason, the New England clam chowder delivers all of the flavor and warmth of the traditional chowder, plus a mouthwatering helping of crispy bacon. Like its New England counterpart, the spicy seafood chowder is crafted with only the highest quality seafood (sourced directly from King’s Fish House’s own distribution center), however, this spicy chowder features a tomato broth with shellfish, potatoes, celery, carrots, paprika and cayenne. The perfect way to start a seafood dinner or simply enjoy a cozy soup on a wintry February day.
