National Fried Clam Day

On July 3rd, National Fried Clam Day is celebrated annually. Fried clams are a staple dish in New England states. These delectable nuggets are served in shacks or roadside restaurants and are often the first destination for those interested in them. ams are dipped in milk and coated with a mixture of regular, corn, and/or pastry flour. In the meantime, the coated clams are fried in oil. They can be clam strips (sliced pieces of hard-shell clams) or whole soft-shell clams. Whole soft-shell clams have a fuller flavor. However, some restaurants have removed the clam's neck from menus.

July 3, 1916

Lawrence Henry "Chubby" Woodman and his partner Bessie opened a small concession stand on Main Street in Essex, Massachusetts, in 1914. On weekends, Chubby dug himself, sold small grocery items, baked potato chips, and fresh clams. The company was slow at first, at first. But things changed on July 3, 1916, when it was announced on July 3, 1916.

Chubby blasted a local fisherman named Tarr, who was visiting the stand on that day, "Business is slower than a couple of snails headed uphill."

Tarr, as snacking on the delectable homemade potato chips, noticed a bucket of clams nearby and jokingly said, "Why don't you fry up some of your clams?" a clams? You'll never have to worry about having enough customers if they're as delicious as your potato chips, and you'll never have to worry about having enough customers." Fried clams were unheard of, and two other customers rewarded Tarr's comment with cold stares. One said, "That's ridiculous." said one. "Clams have shells," the other one said. "Clams have shells." "I wasn't serious," the poor fisherman muttered, "I wasn't serious." It was a joke. "I know you can't fry clams like chips," I hear.

However, Chubby and Bessie began to worry about it after the three men were gone. What if they did fry up some of the clams and sold them? They would have found a way to raise the demand for their own shucked clams if they were delicious. Bessie tossed a slab of lard into the fry pan that was traditionally used to make potato chips. "Let's try it," Bessie said as she tossed a slab of lard into the fry pan that was traditionally used to make potato chips. They chopped some clams and tried different batters, attracting some locals to try them out. They knew they were on to something big when the overall verdict was "delicious."

Chubby and Bessie introduced the first fried clams to Essex residents on the 4th of July parade the next day. The Yankee appetite has never been the same since.. "Now ready to serve the new popular dish, fried clams," a Boston fish market announced a year earlier. And Howard Johnson, the owner of a chain of restaurants on the East Coast, wanted to know how to make fried clams from Chubby..

Lawrence and Bessie wrote what they considered to be important family activities on the backside of their wedding certificate.. Wilbur and Henry's first two lines were the birth dates of their two oldest sons' two oldest sons, Wilbur and Henry. The third line was the other significant birth date in the family. "We fried the first fried clam—in the town of Essex, July 3, 1916."

Now, over 100 years and six generations later, clams are still frying at Woodman's, where it all began.
