Seafood Chowder (Cup 9 | Bowl 14) • PEI Twist: Creamy base with smoked haddock + dill oil • Texture: Perfect clam-to-potato ratio • Served With: House-made brown bread 2. Fish & Chips ($24) • Batter: Crispy lager-infused coating • Fish: Daily catch (ours was haddock) – flaky & moist • Upgrade: Swap fries for duck fat poutine (+$4) 3.
