Guy Fieri Recommends This Massachusetts Place for World’s Best Fried Clams
New England LOVES Fried Clam Season
It's fried clam season.
Heaven's gates have opened, and so have the doors of many fried clam restaurants in the area, including one recommended by Guy Fieri as the WORLD's BEST.
That would be Farnham's Fried Clams in Essex, Massachusetts.
Farnham's Fried Clams are very, very good. From the time I saw the yellow sign (that looked like it had been there for a long time) until the moment I put a clam in my mouth, I knew I had found one of the places that God put on this Earth just for me.
According to TasteAtlas and Guy Fieri, Farnham's has the best fried clams in the entire world.
See, Guy Feee-yetti and I like to eat. We've got that in common.
Of course, Farnham's has other seafood on the menu, and you CAN get other things like a hot dog or burger. But don't go to Farnham's and get one of those and tell me about it. Just keep that to yourself. You should go for the fried clams.
Your two pals, Guy Fieri and I, love them.
I mean, look at what he said about the place, according to TasteAtlas:
With a recipe dating back to 1956, JT Farnham's holds the key to delicious fried clams. By frying locally caught whole-belly clams to "just beyond canary yellow" it's amassed a huge fan base.
Another great place for Fried Clams is Woodman's of Essex, whose founder invented the fried clam, according to their website. But that's a story for another day.
Have you been to Farnham's? Would you make the trip? I would highly recommend it, along with Nick's Place in Raymond, New Hampshire, and Ken's Seafood in Scarborough, Maine.
