"A meal at The Old Clam House starts with a shot of complimentary hot clam juice. It’ll prime you for all the sautéed shellfish, seafood pastas, creamy chowders, and other perfectly solid fish-forward specials you’ll consume at this Bayview seafood classic. The salty drink is a fitting start to dinner at the city’s oldest running restaurant in the same location (established in 1861), which heavily leans into the nautical theme. Oversized fish mounts, hanging fishing nets, and ocean-inspired photos and knickknacks might make you feel like you’re on a grand ship ready for an equally grand voyage. If not, the fish-themed silverware and vodka-infused clam shooters sure will. photo credit: Melissa Zink photo credit: Melissa Zink Food Rundown photo credit: Melissa Zink Clam Chowder A solid bowl of clam chowder that’s not too thin or too thick. You can (and should) get it in a snug little bread bowl, because clam chowder is just more fun to eat in edible basin-form. Crab Cakes These are perfectly decent crab cakes that have a bit of crunch. They’re a worthy follow-up to that free clam shot you may or may not enjoy. photo credit: Melissa Zink Clams And Friends Spaghetti topped with a medley of clams, calamari, and mussels. It's garlicky, light on the tomato sauce, and the most fitting seafood dish to enjoy between martini sips." - Lani Conway
