2024 Fried Clams

Editors’ choice

Seaport Grille, Gloucester

Seaport Grille serves Ipswich clams—widely renowned for their flavor—which means diners get the freshest of bivalves on their plates. The clams are lightly breaded and fried to a crisp golden brown, then piled (very) high on a platter with fries or onion rings, as well as coleslaw and tangy tartar sauce. The restaurant’s location on the Gloucester waterfront creates the perfect atmosphere for digging into some indulgent seafood. 6 Rowe Square, Gloucester, 978-282-9799, seaportgrillegloucester.com
