J. T. Farnham’s makes a righteous case for using sweet, superior Ipswich clams. The rich soft shells practically jump out of the muddy flats and into the tiny clam shack. With lots of down-home charm, it’s a scenic setting of picnic tables positioned over the Essex Salt Marsh. Inside, the full-bellied critters take a dip in egg wash and corn flour and emerge from the friolator with a delicate, crunchy coating. The hot, golden garb dissolves instantaneously on the tongue, releasing straightforward flavor.
