Whole Belly Clams

[careyanned]

I'm headed up to NY/CT at the end of the week. I grew up in New England and have a fierce love of fried clam bellies. I'll be in and around City Island, NY and up to Stamfort CT. I would love some recomended spots to find them. The plumper, the better

It's not near City Island, but London Lennies in Rego park, Queens, has whole belly Ipswitch clams, in a very generous portion.

Sounds like Westport is where I'm heading.

Thanks for the Link.

I love them too and cannot find them in NYC. Here is a thread that might help you:

Won't help the OP, but Littleneck in Gowanus, Brooklyn has fried whole clams on their Clam Roll.

It may not help the OP, but it sure helps me! Thanks a log, Bobjbkin!

My wife and I went to Littleneck on Thursday for the first time. She had the lobster roll and I went with the clam roll. I tried her lobster roll and, although I liked it (a lot), I thought the clam roll was the winner. That was one knockout clam roll, still thinking about it...
