Boston’s Best Fried Clams | Eater Boston

"This seafood shack sits in the home of another excellent soft shell clam, Essex. J.T. Farnham’s, sits at the foot of a majestic expanse of bird-packed marshland, and sightings of a piping plover, a peregrine falcon and common terns are also on the menu. Bring your binoculars, but also bring your appetite. Like the Clam Box, Farnham’s is located on Rte. 133. Farnham’s is seasonal and is typically open from the first Friday in March through Christmas Eve." - Tanya Edwards

Best Food on Cape Ann in Massachusetts | Eater Boston

"J.T. Farnham’s might be the home of the best fried clams in the world, and it’s great for marshland bird-watching as well. After the clams and the birds, head into the center of town for some antiquing. Farnham’s is open for indoor dining, outdoor dining, and takeout, and it is not requiring its customers to wear masks." - Terrence Doyle

Massachusetts’ Best Fried Fish Sandwiches | Eater Boston

"Again, this is first and foremost a clam shop, but the fish sandwich — simple, with a fried scrod filet on a burger bun and slathered with tartar sauce — is worth the drive, too. J.T. Farnham’s is currently open for takeout; it operates from March through the end of December and then takes a winter break each year." - Terrence Doyle
