Clam cakes and chowder · Providence
Two-fisted: a dozen fried clam cakes (rounds of clam-studded fritter dough) with a cup of Rhode Island clear-broth clam chowder. The shore-shack starter.
Clam cakes evolved out of New England fritter culture, with the Narragansett Bay quahog catch driving the local version. The fritters travel best fresh out of the oil and dipped into chowder. Rhode Island has its own clam chowder tradition: clear broth, not Manhattan's tomato and not New England's cream. Iggy's at Oakland Beach makes it the canonical shore-shack way and was featured on CBS's Best of America series for chowder.
