I am not a commie. I swear. Just from the midwest. My CT born-and-raised husband eats only whole belly clams.
Then there are the socialists that order Battered Fried Clams versus Patriots who like theirs dusted with a little corn meal and flour.
I never tasted a fried clam before I was exiled from Idaho but I chose my side quickly, Patriot. Go to Essex or Newbury and visit the clam shacks and make a choice.
We don’t really have a choice here... we don’t have any clams. However y’all send ‘em is how we eat them. And all we get is frozen strips.
And the only affordable lobster venue here is Red Lobster. But at 4.99/lb plus shipping, Texans need to get in on this action while it lasts. That’s only $6 for a 1.25lb chicken lobster. Add $4 for 1/2lb of Ribeye, that’s a party.
