In St. Augustine, FL the chowder of choice is Minorcan which is akin to a spicy Manhattan style Clam Chowder. It generally contains datil peppers as well as tomatoes.

Mmmm, that sounds great. I may need to start a project, trying various regional chowders beyond the usual New England and Manhattan.

Datil peppers are fairly hot similar to a habanero but with a different flavor. I've only eaten them a few times since my parents didn't do hot and I was not down there very often.

The seafood festival in Bellingham sounds wonderful. One of these years ...
