As the Sun sets on another Sunday here from Katie’s Back Deck at BSS, we are thankful for all who came out this week. This view never gets old; we are thankful to be able see this on most clear nites. Reminds me of the one lyric on our menu, Neil Young’s “headed out to where the pavement meets the sand…”. We love that line. Evokes thoughts of freedom and the beauty and possibilities of life, like this sunset

Please join us next week to enjoy this w us. We are closed Monday and Tuesday and will see you Wednesday, 12-8
Thank you

Ok kids. We’ve been asked one question more than any other since opening. What’s the difference between a Clam Strip (left) and a Whole Belly Clam (right)? We offer both as Rolls or in Boxes.

While many varieties of clams are available on the market, Whole Belly clams typically come from a select type known as soft-shell clams. Also referred to as long-neck or Ipswich clams, they are removed from their shell with a focus on keeping the belly joined to the neck. If the belly separates, the clam is set aside for clam strips. The strip is what most of us grew up on (Howard Johnson’s, etc) They are enjoyed by many and do not feature that intense ocean flavor that you may find in the Whole Bellies. Robin and I literally have travelled to New England (where the Ipswich Clam is indigenous) expressly for a pile of fried Whole Bellies. Yeah, we’re a little weird. Most folks in our neck of the woods have not had them, though many of us have. That’s why we get excited to serve them to a Belly newbie.
We love ‘em, but Betty’s has great, more mild Clam Strips if you find you do not. To date myself, once again: “Try it, you’ll like it.”
