Clam Box (Ipswich, MA)

After our fun and informative tour of Privateer International Distillery, Bret and I had definitely worked up an appetite.  Since we would be passing the Clam Box on our way home, we knew that we had to stop in for an early dinner.

Even in October, there was a long line that went out the door.  Still, I have heard that this is nothing compared to what it is like during the summer.  Of course, I couldn't resist ordering fried native clams with french fries.

The french fries were a little lackluster but the fried clams were amazing.  There was a nice crunchy breading that wasn't too greasy.  In contrast, the clams were creamy and delightful.

Even on a chilly October day, these fried clams hit the spot and made for the perfect New England meal.

The Clam Box is located at 246 High Street, Ipswich, MA.
