"Turns out you don’t have to go to Ipswich for great fried clams (but still, try to go to Ipswich for fried clams sometime.) The Barking Crab is the perfect confluence of tourist trap and actually good restaurant. It’s situated on Fort Point Channel directly across from James Hook & Co. and right down the Harborwalk from Fan Pier Park. And as its name suggests, it’s got a pretty good selection of crab." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
