Whisk in a ladleful of clam juice into the roux then gradually whisk the roux into the soup pot until it thickens. Then whisk in the half and half and heat to a simmer while whisking. The Maine cooking is good here.the chowder is from scratch & is loaded with clams and fish.hard to find a good chowder these days. The lobster roll is generous and loaded with fresh lobster claw. Ambiance is nice for a seafood Maine lunch.one of the best in the area.
