The Chick-A-Dee Restaurant Fried Clam Story

       We prepare our clams for frying in one of two ways: either in our "customary manner" or "whole clams". Since the Chick-A-Dee began serving clams sometime after 1935, it has been our custom to remove the grit and other contents from the clam belly so you can enjoy the clam and belly without the grit.

       Our second way is to just fry the whole clam with belly, grit and all, which is the method utilized by most preparers of fried clams. Unless you request the second method - "whole clams" -, we will prepare them in our "customary manner" as we have for many years. In addition, your choice of clams will be fried in a very light batter or crumbs.
