The Black Duck in Westport, Connecticut is a local treasure. And I can see why. Reasonably priced food with plenty of sports and fresh seafood.

More importantly, they have an OUTSTANDING Bloody Mary. I mean, absolutely exceptional. So I can give it a thumbs up in general.

We stopped in after a hike and tested their super good chowder.

Looks promising!

Celery Fight!

That chowder was so good it makes me want to smoosh you!

As usual, ChowderBoy’s enthusiasm for all kinds of chowder knows no limits. And we love him that way. He did say it needed more salt and then proceeded to pour a TBSP or so in there. Which was actually too much.

It takes a lot these days to get us to cry out for more chowder. But The Black Duck had us begging for more!
