About Fried Clams Day
United States
Ends: Nov 01, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Fried Clams Day celebrates a popular seafood dish in the United States, especially New England. Its origin dates back to the early 20th century. Lawrence Henry "Chubby" Woodman from Essex, Massachusetts, is credited with the origin of fried clams.
The story of fried clams begins on July 3, 1916, when Chubby Woodman, who owned a small concession stand, decided to try something new. At the time, his stand sold grocery items like homemade potato chips. On that fateful day, Tarr, a local fisherman, jokingly suggested to Woodman that he try frying clams like he fried potatoes.
Woodman, intrigued by the idea, decided to give it a try. He shucked some clams, coated them in corn flour, and fried them in oil. The result was an immediate success. The fried clams were a hit with the local townspeople, and word of this new, tasty treat quickly spread.
The introduction of fried clams marked a significant moment in American culinary history. It transformed clams, a staple in the diet of many New England coastal communities, into a popular and sought-after delicacy.
The success of fried clams led to the expansion of Woodman's business. His small stand evolved into Woodman's of Essex, a full-service restaurant that continues to operate today, still run by the Woodman family. The restaurant has become a landmark, attracting visitors from all over the country who come to enjoy the original fried clams.
Over the years, fried clams have become a staple of New England cuisine, with many restaurants and seafood shacks offering their versions with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce, lemon wedges.
