I agree. After 2 stops at Rossi's/Kevins in New Hampton and 2 at Pop's, my vote is for Pop's.
Don't get me wrong, Kevin's is awesome too, and if you like fried clams, the AYCE Friday night clams is hard to beat. On my last trip there, I took my son and we both ordered the clams. The first plate came out with so many on it neither of us ordered a second round.
The same applies to Pop's. I could never finish a dinner there as there is plenty enough for 2 to share and not go away hungry. Even their "baskets" are more than enough to satisfy, with enough to take home for a "snack".
Pop's and Kevin's are my 2 favorite stops for fried foods, either will satisfy your craving for fried seafood.
I give the nod to Pop's mostly based on the size of the clams at the time we were there. I prefer the smaller whole belly clams to the larger whole belly clams, and on both occasions this season, Pop's didn't disappoint.
And besides, it's a really nice boat ride from Meredith.
