Where are the best Fried Clams? Fried Oysters?
This is a serious Question....I do a lot of travelling for work and of course, fishing here in NE. I know great fishing spots from Popham beach N to Napatree Pt.
But I don't know the best places when I want fried seafood.Which is all the time if I could  |

Lena's. Salisbury on 286. Crawl over to Hodgie's across the street for a 1/4 kiddie after (regular size cone is rediculous).  |
 Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

just finished a whole-belly clam plate from Cream n' Cone in West Dennis. good size clams, but i have a big problem with the prices.
now hear me out, i know everyone complains about prices, but here goes...
my quahog buyer told me last week that steamers were selling for 1.00/pound wholesale here on the cape. he also told me the guys in maine were getting .80/pound! so i walk into the restaurant and there is the typical sign...due to the high cost of clams..dadadada...blah blah blah... 
puhlease, i don't buy any of it. but the tourists don't know any better, so why the hell not charge an arm and a leg!  |

If you are ever in Northern RI, try the clams at Box Seats in Woonsocket. It's nowhere near the water, doesn't even have much of a seafood menu, but the fried clams won "Best of RI" a few years back and the quality has stayed consistent.

Best regards,

The Essex Seafood House in Essex MA has the best fried seafood on the MA north shore in my opinion.

You cannot not go wrong with any of the places on Rt 133 between Ipswich and Essex known as the "Clam Highway." Woodman's, The Clam Box, Fahrnums, Essex Seafood, the Village, etc... No place else in NE compares.
Lewis' in Essex has excellent fried oysters.

I grew up in Ipswich and Woodman's fried clams in Essex have been what I judge all others againsed. Farnum's in Essex a close second because they have Fried Oysters on a regular basis.
After I started this thread, I hit the Clam Shack in Kennebunkport for a pint of Fried. These are the best fried clams I have had outside Essex and Ipswich. Their batter is excellent! The Best in Maine.
Bob's in Kittery on Rte 1 makes a great Fried Oyster. Their clams are'nt as good. Not greasy enough. |

i have fond memories of farnum's as a kid....after a day at the beach or out in the boat we would go there. their chicken finger dinner plate aint to shabby either
but i do think woodmans is a bit better.... if you made me choose, both places are overrun with people at peak hours though... its a madhouse |

In the Canal area, Lindsey's on Cranberry Highway in East Wareham is my top choice, with East Wind fish market running a close second (their scallops are better than their clams, but that's because their scallops are among the best I've ever eaten). Sandy's has slipped a lot IMO, and the fire at Penners was good riddance--I hated the batter they used. Actually, Seafood Sam's isn't bad for a chain.

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Ahhhh. I was going to post that but didn't think anyone would recognize it. Fran's has good everything......great chowder too, but the fried clams rule. I live close by and frequent there often.
My mother used to talk about how it was just a window for take-out way back when......and on Fridays the line would be a block long. |

I'm a Flo's middletown guy - plus I like the new ta-ta's on the bartender upstairs.
Basswipe - tried mello's yet? good stuff- pretty much replaced flo's in the park for me - definately not what it used to be.
