The State(s) of Fried Clams

Ed -

There is a restaurant in West Haven, Connecticut that my family has gone to for years: Jimmy's of Savin Rock. Back in the 50s, it was "Jimmy's Drive In." Even when I was a kid and first started going there (in the 70s) the Drive In part of the restaurant was still active. Not anymore.

BUT... they serve (in my opinion) the best Fried clams around. Juicy and sweet - the fries are great, too.

I never see this restaurant written up in any food guides, but it's always packed.

You should check it out. Only about a 5-6 minute "detour" off of i-95, and it's right on the beach, so the views are great.

(Again, before my time, I believe Savin Rock had an amusement park.)

Give it a try!
