| - I grew up in MA eating too much clam chowder. The clam chowder back there is always fresh, never too heavy, perfect amount of potato to soup ratio and a large handful of clam. Fulton's is the closest to that clam chowder that I have tasted out west, and I will happily eat there several times a month if possible.
Is Fulton's chowder pretty creamy? Sure. Is MA chowdah (I had to)super creamy? It's not supposed to be, but that's okay and forgivable. There are worse seafood sins to commit. I love that it tastes fresh and that oh, it's gluten free! Nothing else at this restaurant is gluten free, but this chowder is and I LOVE IT! Many chowders thicken with a rue. Not Fulton's. Straight cream and the natural starchiness of the potatoes make this soup divine. I love that it isn't too salty, piping hot, and for those who can, grab that sourdough bread bowl to put it in (even though I think that's a crime, but moving forward).
My mother in law, husband's, uncle, aunt and cousin (all from Scotland)feel that Fulton's has some of the best fish and chips in the U.S. When compared to the homeland of fish and chips, it is still very good, and that is saying a lot. Consistent in quality, not overly greasy, HUGE portion (easily able to split it between two people), and flaky, delicious and even the chips are great. Drizzle some malt vinegar on those bad boys and my husband and his family are very, very happy and continue to go there each time they visit. Great value for the money you spend, and a nice quick bite that isn't so hard on your budget. Like I said, my entire family could eat there every day if we let them. Delicious!
