Johnny's Clam Shack (Open April 7th to October15th)

One of the only places on CT seacoast where you can get clam fritters and it's in Norwich. They were large and had a good amount of clam bits in them. Johnny even brought them to our car when parked at his drive-in. Very pleasant and served fresh.

Amazing roadside seafood shack!! This is a real diamond in the rough for Norwich. Fish and chips was one of the best I've ever had, hush puppies are rare to find in CT and these are very very good. Crab bites were a real surprise, small crab cake balls fried to perfection. Location is quaint and easy to find.

A very rare establishment that both has consistently good food and consistently good service. I moved to Norwich only about a year ago and Johnny's has been a welcome example of excellence in a sea of mediocrity from other establishments. I can't wait until they open again come (I presume), spring time. Ironically I've not had the clams yet. The shrimp and fish are exceptional. The scallops were okay, but that was also near the end of the store's open time before they closed for the winter, so I'll hit it off with a pass. I expect to stop by here many a Friday in the future.
