What I reviewed
- Fried Clams8.6
“Crispy, melt-in-your-mouth fried clams that beat the Clam Box.”
Next stop on the North Shore Clam Crawl, and Essex Seafood delivered. A small box ran $37.95, but these clams had a nice crisp outside and just melted once you started chewing — definitely saltier than the Clam Box but better overall. Me and Uncle Dave both landed on 8.6 out of 10.
