There are all kinds of fantastic seafood restaurants in the Ocean State and many of them are found on the coast. From fancy places to hole-in-the-wall spots, we all have our favorites. But you’ll be surprised by one land-locked Rhode Island chowder shack that serves up some superb roadside seafood well worth making a special trip.

Howard's Chowder Shack delivers delicious seafood from its roadside stand in Scituate. Order an incredible meal and plop yourself down at a picnic table for some scrumptious cooked-to-order seafood classics.

Located on the Hartford Pike or Route 101, this unexpected seafood surprise is nowhere near the water, in fact it's kind of out in the boonies.
