I live in Quincy and, of course, have my favorites. Burke’s has always been my fish market of choice for both quality and consistence. They make some wonderful clam and seafood chowders. At the moment, because of the pandemic they are takeout only with a limited menu.
My go to for fried clams is Grumpy Whites. Their fry guy gets it right every single visit. Never greasy, nice crunch and sweet flavor. Grumpys generally only has fried clams on the weekend. Once the cold winter hits they may not have them at all. Always good to call first. Grumpys also has an outdoor deck for dining.
Tony’s is another good spot for fried clams but I always go for their lobster roll. IMHO it’s one of the best on the south shore.
