Best Fried Clams in New England

What's your favorites? I'm partial to the clams at Arnold's Clam Shack in Eastham Mass, on Cape Cod.

I also recently had the clams at JT Farnham's in Essex Mass and they were quite yummy.

          The Red Wing is great in Foxboro! Nice fried scallops also. Sort of like a truck stop but a worth while destination!

            LOL...an oft discussed question of which there are hundreds of answers.

            But I'll chime in that Arnold's is good. But no better IMO than Kreme 'n Kone, or Original Seafood Restaurant in Dennisport. My favorite, by quite a bit, is Marathon in West Dennis. If you like your bellies big or small, just ask, and that's what you'll get. Plus there's a little extra special ingredient in the flour than makes them a tad more crunchy than others. Delish.
