National Deep Fried Clams Day 👈 Begin here.
The Origin of Deep-Fried Clams
The story of deep-fried clams begins in Essex, Massachusetts, in 1916, when Lawrence Henry “Chubby” Woodman and his wife, Bessie, took the advice of a local fisherman to deep-fry the clams in their small roadside stand. This innovative idea turned into a culinary sensation, making deep-fried clams a staple of New England cuisine and beyond. Today, they’re celebrated not just as a regional delight but as a favorite across the United States, especially in coastal areas where clams are freshly harvested.
