Fort Bragg is a great place to warm your insides, too, especially down at the Noyo Harbor where the fishing boats come in, and especially now that crab season is finally in full gear. Pop in to Noyo Fish Company for chowder and a side of beer battered fried pickles. Silvers at The Wharf does clam chowder in a bread or, even better, garlic bread bowl. They do an equally bang up job with chowder at their sister restaurant, Mayan Fusion, located right downtown. And to add to the embarrassment of riches, find excellent freshly made chowders at Princess Seafood’s new location at the far end of the wharf and enjoy some chowder with a sweeping harbor view at the Noyo Harbor Inn.
