mary's fish camp
had the fried clams at the bar last nite. just don't know what the big deal is.
true, they are not like howard johnson's frozen clam strips, but what is???
true, they are better than the insulting offering at ditch plains; however, they have very little of their "bellies", & sadly,don't come close to any of the "shacks" on the way to, & in the Cape. i find it fairly incredible living in manhattan, there doesn't appear to be anyplace to find delicious fried clams with belly
the only above average part was the excellent tartar sauce. to add insult to injury, mary is not shy about prices, but has the nerve to serve wine in heavy little "juice" glasses. either charge less, & or buy some real wine glasses.
& still never ceases to amaze me what new yorkers will put up with as regards to quality & outrageous prices?????
any manhattan suggestions for fried clams (EL's favorite) & fried shrimp?

just wondering if anyone has tried the fried clams at the 'shack' part of BLT Fish? I've been there a few times but for one reason or another never tried the fried clams. Weird.

Thr fried clams at the "shack" floor at BLT Fish are a waste of money and stomach space. I think the whole downstairs restaurant is pretty awful and very overpriced.
