Clam Box of Ipswich

Open since 1935, the internationally recognized landmark that is the Ipswich Clam Box—it resembles an open box of clams—is famous for all the right reasons. A thin and delicate batter encases the only thing locals dare order here: whole belly fried clams, harvested right from Ipswich, known to be the best in the world. If the line feels too long in summer, just know that the wait is part of the experience.
