Maybe they're from a few weeks ago, haha

Likely not as fresh as Pops in any event

Too bad Pops can't get their hands on any right now.

We were temporarily out of whole clams. I believe we were waiting on a delivery that was running late. We always have first dibs with my suppliers as we go through a high volume of frying clams. Supply is short right now with high demand. That correlates to high prices $195 a gallon. Most people do not realize that almost all of Massachusetts and Maine was shut down for harvesting. This was due to red tide which is caused by excessive rain and warm temps. Canada is open. As far as someone in SanFransisco getting clams,I would assume they came from Washington state.

Thanks for the update Pops. Is it best to call before coming by to check for fried clams availability?
