My family travel for food aside from seeing places🥰 we're Filipino so we are big on seafood. Best fried seafood we ever had! You can taste the seafood & with a light tasteful breading! We are particular with fried food. This did not leave too much grease on our fingers or the paper plate! Price is worth the taste and serving, you will not regret Will definitely love to come back! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

My 1st time here and was a beautiful day for some fresh and delicious clam strips. Reminds me of my home town on Cape Cod. I will be back for more!

I finally made it to J.T. Farnham's, completing the Essex-Ipswich, Massachusetts fried whole belly clams triple crown. Farnham's did not disappoint. I was there at 11 a.m. and had the first batch in fresh oil. Light, fluffy batter and deliciously sweet small-medium native local clams. Very friendly staff. I can't wait to stop by again. Wham bam thank you clam!

We got combo and fried lobster. They served hot! and fresh. The combo is a little bit pricey for me compared to the portion and another one nearby. The batter is really different it's more firm which is I like it. It's not oily or soggy at …

It was originally built in 1941 and named Wilson's fried clams, then the Farnham's bought it and changed the name. In 1994 Joseph and Terry Cellucci bought it and chimed in with the "J.T."
