I really like fried clams as I'm eating them but shortly thereafter, I feel all bloated inside and I regret haven eaten them even though they were so good while I was eating them. I hate when they dump fries and onion rings onto the plate. Just give me the fried clams and nothing but the fried clams. I don't even like the tartar sauce.

Now, the best way to have clams is to steam them. Not in a lot of water however because I like to get the water all concentrated with clam flavor (broth) and after I'm done eating the clams, I like to drink the broth they were cooked in.

It's a little messy eating steamed clams. But I can eat them by the pound. Just make sure you take the condom off (those who know clams will know what I mean) and dip them in melted butter.

I’ve eaten fried clams morning, noon and night. Love clams any way, But fried are the best. I was born in and grew up near Boston. Ipswich? The best!

Too much sand in steamers. My wife loves ‘em, however.
