Seasonal seafood shack is famous for fried clams, other fishy dishes & soft ice cream.
"WHAT: A former Carvel stand east of Mystic Seaport that now serves some of New England’s finest fried clams.
WHY: We're talking whole-belly clams — plump and ocean-sweet with a salty snap to the lasciviously tender meat inside a brittle crust. Beyond clams, this summertime drive-in serves a full roster of expertly fried seafood, including scallops, shrimps, and oysters. Of all Connecticut’s shoreline clam shacks, Sea Swirl’s ambiance is the most delicious. Dining is all outside at picnic tables, where you can smell the ocean’s flood tide crawling in behind the restaurant." [Eater]
