Does anyone know where to go for affordable and delicious fried seafood in New York City? I would love to get fried clams and fried oysters in the city somewhere. Thanks in advance to all the smart people out there!

best raw bar deal in the city - 1/2 dozen oysters or clams and a beer/wine for $8.

cheap fried clams are tough, because good clams are so expensive, I like the fried clams at Esca when they are on the menu (full disclosure: I wrote a cookbook with Esca chef-owner David Pasternack). Pearl has excellent fried clams and oysters, as does Mary's Fish Camp. Fried oysters are a better value, and all of the above-mentioned places usually have them.

@Soup_Dumpling,
That sounds like a crazy good deal! I'll have to check that out sometime.
@Ed,
Thanks for the tip about Esca. I always forget about that one because it just seems like an upscale place. I will try to make a trip to all those places! Summer just screams for fried seafood!

I think it closed down but there used to be a place called Lundy's in Sheepshead Bay (not Manhattan). Anyone else remember that? I seem to recall them having good clams...

If you're looking for atmosphere while you eat your fried clams, nothing beats getting a little paper dish of hot breaded clams and eating it on the Coney Island boardwalk.
