text: OK I made a visit albeit still skeptical I absolutely must point out first and foremost that anyone who views this as a good destination for anything related to New England OR Seafood is one of three thingsnn Owners of the restaurantn never had good seafood beforen never had good seafood beforennThe clam chowder is a pasty concoction that does not begin with baconsalt pork has bits of chewy rubbery clams is tasteless and overall would recieve a boost with the addition of a couple of cans of SnowsnnThe fried clams were horrible The only plus was that they were not strips They were actually Bellied clams but I use that term VERY loosely Price will always determine the quality when it comes to clams they cost a certain amount of money and there is no way to get around thatunless of course you are not using Ipswich Clams There is no way that these are from Ipswich Shellfish Co The batter is terrible as well Why would anyone choose to fry a clam in anything but an evaporated milkcorn flour dredgennAny new englander who has had a good chowder from legal Sole etc or a clam from the clam box essex or Ronnies knows that this place is not your fried clam destinationnnWait i almost forgot the tarter sauce was horrible as well Can i give zero stars
