6. I live in New England where they are big on the soft-shell clams.

I don't really like them - it's a texture thing. The soft bellies and long necks kind of bum me out. However I love steamed littleneck (hardshell) clams dipped in lemon butter.

15. Yes yes yes

A better question would be strips or whole belly clams?? (I love both)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. Me too! 😋

18. No thanks. You can have mine.

I'm not a big fan of seafood or fried things.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Thank you! 😋

19. Not real fried clams unless they have the bellies.

Fried clam strips are like eating fried calamari. You need the juicy bellies to get the whole experience.
