Where can I find Fried Clams in NE NJ? Not the strips, but the real New England Ipswich style -- you know -- with the 'bellies'.

If you'd want to cross the bridge into Philly, we've got them on our menu at Oyster House when we can. Seems that lately there's been a bit of a shortage of the Ipswitch clams. They are a "wild caught", aka not a farmed product, and our suppliers have had some trouble keeping up with demand. What little was found was sold off to the NYC and the Hamptons restaurants at outrageous prices, so we went without intermittenly the past few weeks. But both the traditional steamers and the fried belly clams are regular menu items at Oyster House.
