Iggy's: Clam cakes & Chowder

Iggy's is where you go for clam cakes and chowder. Or..fish and chips. They also make dough boys. Lots of folks ask what is a clam cake? It's a batter with chopped clams which is deep fried, and you sprinkle salt on them, eating them with your hands. They are a natural with chowder. We have chowder made with milk... or the tomatoe style...but if you are a real old salty... you'd have chowder with a rich broth and none of that extra stuff. That's the way you get a real clam flavor.
Lines form on Friday night or a hot summer night. They are ordering take out food to take down to the beach or bring home for a simple supper. You can eat inside the restaurant as well, but it doesn't give you that salty, sandy feeling like being out at the beach.
