Last week I rode down to Little Neck Restaurant off the Gowanus Canal to sampled their Fried Clams.
$22.
I was thoroughly disappointed by their offering. Even the extinct HoJo clam strips were better than these measly clams, which had no bellies and were mostly Batter and fries.
Yesterday I purchased little neck clams from Bobby at the Fort Greene Farmer’s Market.
$10
I steamed the plump mollusks in water, cider, garlic, and butter.
Delicious.
And I drank the broth.
Thinking OH NEW ENGLAND and dreaming of authentic Ispswich Fried Clams Tony’s on Wollaston Beach.
