This legendary roll is made with juicy little belly clams that have been harvested locally. It’s so loaded with clam that you might miss the bun if you don’t look carefully!

Like all classic clam rolls, this sandwich is actually served in a warm, griddled hot dog bun. You can also expect a tangy layer of tartar sauce with a squeeze of lemon.
