Wow - it's been so long since I posted that Blogger has an entirely new format! Yikes.
There's been A LOT going on up here as of late! All great things - but a lot at once!
We were up in Essex, MA this past weekend and just HAD to stop by Woodman's to try their famous fried clams - and guess what - yep, they're gluten free!
Actually, we found out when we were there that everything on the menu is gluten free except the onion rings, clamcakes, and all the sandwiches (bread)... but if you're lookin' for fried clams, (among other fried things) fries, and clam chowder - you're in luck. We made sure to tell them when ordering I was gluten free - and they made sure not to put the onion rings on my heap of fried goodness.
YUM. This was WAY too many clams for me - I only ate about less than half, husband had some, but he had his own plate to deal with --- so I would recommend sharing. But it was all really good - and I LOVE tartar sauce. I would eat it on everything.
The chowder was really good - Matt's was a little watery, which was weird, because mine was thick and full of potatoes & clams - so I guess I picked the right one out of the box.
If you're ever in Essex, stop by --- I plan on going back this summer! Plus - there are some fabulous antique shops lining the streets if you feel up for a little antiquing to walk off your fried food.

Hi there!
I am a mom with celiac disease-- diagnosed in 2009. Forgive me for using the comment format to ask this-- not sure how to get in touch with you and I am hoping that a moderator function will allow you to filter this if you wish to remove it?
I was wondering if you'd be willing to look at the website I created about my new travel service, Colibri Culinary Travel for people like us with special dietary needs. I lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico--- Travel + Leisure Magazine's #4 on their top 10 list of world travel destinations. I am bringing insider knowledge to food centered, culinary tours for adults and families to assure fun and food-safe experiences in my favorite place in the world.
I am planning a GF arts and culture tour for adults August 4 and can custom design trips for families at more affordable rates.
Any chance you'd post some links on your blog? Or consider writing about my new service? I am different from most GF travel options because I take the restaurant out of the travel equation. I have world class personal chefs who prepare complete gluten free meals on-site in carefully maintained hacienda/villa kitchens. So no worries about few menu choice or accidental gluten exposure,
Here's a link about me:

and another about the August 4th arts and culture tour:

And- I'd be delighted to compensate your with a commission for any trip purchased through exposure on your site!
Let me know what you think?
Best to you!

I've been gluten-free for four years and having grown up on the north shore of Massachusetts, there is nothing I've missed more than fried clams.
And all this time there's been a gluten-free fried clam place 30 minutes from my house?!
Thank you so much for posting about this.
katie - you must go now! or maybe this weekend ;)
