In an effort to breathe new life into this thread here are some clamcake and chowder pictures from the West Greenwich, Rhode Island Fire Dept. Twice a year, they sell them out of the fire house. Attendance is always good, as is the food.
The clamcakes (fritters) are quite good and we eat them while they are hot in the car. Deb likes a dipping sauce, which they do not offer. I used to make, and bring, tartar sauce, but yesterday she requested lemon and garlic aioli which I made last night because it benefits from a night in the fridge. We got a half dozen fritters which are about golf ball size (I have already eaten one).
....and of course the aioli:
I got 4 quarts of the red chowder, which I brought home. I have never had a clam chowder I didn't like and this was no exception. I do like to add a bit of Crystal hot sauce and garlic, which I did after taking this picture.
