"Long Island is littered with fabled restaurants specializing in clams. Some of these places are seasonal, but others are year-round. Founded in 1939, Bigelow’s is one of the latter, serving lots of clam specialties in the New England style, including full-belly fried clams. The Ipswich clams are cooked to a golden brown perfection, offered with coleslaw and lemon wedges." - Robert Sietsema
