If you’re the type of person who prefers to check the menu of the restaurant you’re going to online so you have an idea of what you’ll order, you’re not alone — and you probably love dining out in Washington, since so many of our top eateries have websites with full menus.

But if you happen to find yourself on the Long Beach Peninsula, you’ll be much more likely to stumble across some tasty food at random. Here, many of the restaurants are older, more established, and don’t even have a website at all, much less an online menu. Captain Bob’s Chowder is one of them, and it’s a true gem.

Captain Bob's is located at 409 Pacific Ave S. in downtown Long Beach, where it has been a local staple for many years.

The owners have a love of the beach and all things ocean-related, and it shows.

But the focus here is never on the aesthetic or the decor. It's all about the food.
At any given time, you'll find several different chowders on the menu, all made fresh daily.

Clam chowder is pretty much a given, but smoked salmon chowder and corn chowder also make regular appearances.
