Anyone who went to the beach (ocean or fresh water) in New England knows what a fried clam is: oddly shaped, alternately soft and chewy, a hot savory nugget that spreads a sweet- salty sea breeze across your palate. Properly made out of soft-shelled clams (never "clam strips"!), they are THE oceanside lunch in Maine (and someways south), as important as lobster has become for a visitor's plate after dark. Maine clams and other shellfish have had a rough time the last few seasons, but they never go out of style, and now the NY Times samples clams on the way up to Portland. That kind of survey misses many prime spots in Yarmouth, Searsport, Bucksport, as well Bar Harbor and beyond. But that's OK -- most Mainers know where to find good clams, and at least north of Portland we won't have to stand in a long line for them.
