O.K. I am a sucker for raw oysters and fried clams with the bellies. We tend to order our favorites and not mess with a good thing.
The room – casual
Ale for John
Champagne for me
Oysters – Wellfleet, Island Creek, Fanny Bay, Del Sol
Fish Tacos – grilled mahi mahi, cilantro aioli, diced tomatoes, guacamole
Fried Clams – Whole Belly Ipswich Clams, fried lemons, preserved lemon aioli – I have this nailed down to ordering a half order and when I have finished the first half asking them to fire the second half
Second half of fried clams
It’s not Neptune’s Oyster in Boston, but it is the best fried clams that I have found in Los Angeles.
Ordering sequential half orders of fried clams! You’re brilliant. But we knew that. Thanks for a tip that solves much of what is often wrong with fried clams.
