    Fried Ipswich Whole Belly Clams with Tartar Sauce

    When it comes to fried clams, whole bellies is always better than sometimes-tough clam strips. A quick squeeze of lemon overhead and a dollop tartar sauce is all you need (well, except for a side of fries and a cold beer, maybe).

    Mini Corn Dogs

    These bite-sized corn dogs take all of the sweet and crispy charm of a corn dog and makes them a little too easy to snack (and get hooked) on. Oh, and there's also bacon in the batter. You've been warned.

    French Fries
