Well looks like they finally saw the ridiculousness of charging for tartar sauce. Clam Box, Ipswich MA is also a great place and their fried seafood tastes great

Local knowledge: Clam Box has THE best fried clams, followed by Essex Seafood, then Woodman’s. Farnhams not worth the price. Clams are not cheap anywhere

While the Clam Box has great clams, there is another place that one would not expect to have fantastic clams.

Kings, a roast beef and seafood place on North St in Salem, has the best fried clams. I don't know what they put in their batter, but it is sooooo good. Yes it is not your typical looking Clam Shack, nor does it have the cache of others located right in the ocean/flats, but I am serious about the quality, taste of their clams.
