Fried Clams @ The Clam Box, Ipswich, Mass

[@Ditka-89]

Daddy Jack, I love your appreciation for other chefs and restaurants. If only we all had your passion!

[@horseplop9]

I love that about him as well

[@MusicforMe123]

I went to Woodman's of Essex in Essex MA and a week later I went to Bigalows in Rockville Center NY. I am searching for another place and while watching this video I suddenly realized who was talking in the background and a tear came to my eye. R.I.P. Daddy Jack, you have brought so much joy to my life. The world lost an exceptional man that had a passion for food and cooking.

Looks great. Growing up we would dig razor clams on the Washington Coast at low tide. Did flour, egg wash and cracker crumbs fried at a very high heat with vegetable oil. Maybe 1-2 minutes per side. Nothing fancy but fresh in so good. The diggers on the razor clams are the Fillet Mignon of the clam. So flavorful Mix up some ketchup, horse radish and worchestershire together for the dipping sauce.. Brings back great memories. Thanks for posting.

[@nolanohana]

I grew up eating these at the Clam Box or Woodmans, no better seafood. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@banba317]

LOVE Ipswich Clams! I fell in love with them when I was a kid; there was a little seafood joint called Blue Point Crab House In the Lower Northeast in Philly and they had fresh stuff brought in from as far away as New Orleans, and TONS of fresh Jersey Shore seafood! They sold 1/2 lb baskets of Ipswich Clams for about $2.00! Yum! Another nice video Jack!

[@ronaldpetersen255]

Daddy Jack, you are a treasure and I am thankful for your collection of videos!!! You are greatly missed!!!! -Ron in Wasilla

[@tylerlong3645]

Reminds me of my days frying oysters and clams in Florida. I remember the buckets saying Ipswich, I didn’t know it was a town in mass. I miss that restaurant, the owner used to be a boat captain/ spear fisherman. But he knew other spear fishermen and helped finance their boat so we got great deals on grouper, snapper, lion fish, hog fish, Cobia, amberjack and the occasional barracuda lol. The restaurant/ other boat captain were even on a tv show named Catching Hell on the weather channel! Good memories man!

I absolutely adore fresh fried clams. I wish I was closer to you. Those look amazing.I love how they melt in your mouth not chewy like a rubberband. He obviously knows what he's doing. It's great you're helping promote your areas food and businesses 👍

[@xevious2501]

Greetings from Poland, I love to watch your videos, it makes me chill, a lot of health!!

[@Divine_R]

What a satisfying wet/dry station setup

[@stoneymorris5366]

Great little video. I loved watching the back of the house action! Thanks for filming and posting.

[@progressiveprepper6553]

Nothing better! I have never been to this place but there are two similar places on Quincy Beach that are very good.

[@johniac7078]

Chef, you need your own TV show. Seriously.

[@johniac7078]

Love that joint. I bought my first German Shepherd right down the road from there. Good stuff, Chef!

[@peacesearcher4598]

He knows they'll wait because he pumps out great food.🦪🦀

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Cross country road trip needed!!! Daddy Jacks and Clam Box..

[@chrischoir3594]

I knew this guy from Gloucester, MA who was a fisherman and year ago he took me clamming up in Ipswich on Essex bay. We dug for four hours and we only got one measly bucket of clams. I was so sore for a week. It is the hardest work. Worse than bricklaying lol

[@dougeisen1503]

In my opinion, if you go a bit further in to NH or Maine you still get great fried seafood but can add some of the best Lobster rolls in the world. Plus, in the summer, fantastic ice cream stands. Only in New England.

[@bretcantwell4921]

Maine might be a plus 1 or 2 for lobster, but there are no better clams than Ipswich clams.

[@trnrbrnr]

I love those fried softshell clams they have up on the North Shore!

[@renegrace1]

I live in Florida, but I’m from New England. My family takes me to the clam box in Quincy when I go home. The best seafood EVER! I’m over near dreaming of the Ipswich clams!

[@it1988a]

Who can afford expensive seafood in this hyperinflationary Obiden economy???

[@ronaldyeater3322]

So lucky, in my travels in and out of RI, I can stop at clam box, flo's, Tommy's clam shack, and at home in west Warwick can fry my own🤤, so blessed ,😢🙏, the volume I see everywhere I thought were shipped in frozen, but not👍

[@hardsincigar8505]

The food looked amazing wow oooh and I love the name the clam box lol

[@andredonald6372]

the owner of Clam box passed away and she also was part of family ownership. Tony's clams is the second oldest and Xlam box of Quincy seafood restaurants are still on Quincy shore drive till the very day . I live only 5 minutes fom there.

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Wow this was dope to see where is this place it’s beautiful n that fried food looks so good yummm thank you

[@bretcantwell4921]

My mom is an Ipswich native as was her dad. We lived there in the early 70s and visited often as I grew up. The Clam Box loomed large in my memory so in 2018, when I visited for the first time in 18 years, I patronized them 4 times during my 8 days there.

[@PinHeadThePopeOfHell]

Daddy Jack has sadly passed away

[@arthurfiorillo8591]

I have been going to the clam box for 40 years

[@briankelley7679]

It’s a shame people were forced to suffer working with those face ornaments. Hopefully, someday history will tell the story of the tyranny and insanity which occurred.
