Larry's Clam - PLAISTOW

Food is very good and affordable for a family of 5. Highly recommend.

Took my Father for lunch , he had a haddock sandwich and I had the fisherman’s plate off the special board . Both were very good!

I recommend The Clam Bar!! It has fantastic food! I love the Roast Beef Sandwich I think we found the beef lol. Hubby had the Haddock Plate and said it was one of the best SIL had the Scallop Plate she said it was awesome!! Go find out for yourself!!

I was very dissatisfied with what I got the chicken plate this time I ordered a chicken plate got an old piece of chicken leg that probably been in the freezer for a year it wasn't fried it must have been microwaved cost a lot of money for a handful of clam strips really miss Larry's Clam bar I will never eat there again

Although Larry's Clam Bar is now closed for good, I thought I'd leave a review with my thoughts anyway. Larry and his wife Verna gave me my first part time job back in 1967 when I was in high school. The back of the restaurant was pretty much a family operation in those days. Larry and Verna were two of the hardest working people I knew. They worked long hours while raising their young family. Very committed and devoted to their business and in satisfying their customers. They would do anything to keep their customers happy. And the quality of the food during this period was incredible. On weekends the parking lot was jammed and the lines were long. Happy customers would walk back to their cars with food piled high on their plates. The fried food was hot, not greasy at all and the quality of the seafood was excellent. That was back in the days when seafood was inexpensive compared to later years and before people got health conscious and started demanding food that was fried in vegetable oil rather than lard or hydrogenated oils like Spry or Crisco (which really makes the best fried food! . As the years went by, I noticed the quality of the food was not as good as it used to be, the prices increased more and more and you got less and less. And although it was still a popular place for many to go, their customer base decreased. In it's time, Larry's Clam Bar was the place to go to enjoy fantastic seafood at reasonable prices. But as with everything in this life, sadly it's time had come and gone. But I will hold dear the memories of that place, the fantastic food and those two dear people that hired a sometimes rebellious teenager and gave me the first paycheck I ever earned. Bless you, Larry and Verna!
