  1. Yea, I remember reading in the Walls Street Journal back in the late 90s about the genius move Amazon was making in setting up their used book warehouses in central NJ. Apparently, the old railroad and highway infrastructure used to ship vegetable and fruit was ideal for packing and shipping old books. It saved them millions on fuel and shipping costs. Back then, Amazon was toying with expanding into retail and online storefronts to compete with eBay. I think there's another diner going the opposite way on the same road with good reviews also. But my wife always wants to go where we already know we will get a good meal. I like their veal parmesan with spaghetti. Usually ask for the sauce on the side. Generous portion of veal fillet. Whole muscle cut, not a ground meat puck like I used to get with school lunch.
  2. I was able to scratch my Fried Clam Strips itch this past weekend at the Harrison House Diner in Mullica Hill...
  3. Sounds like added fiber in your diet?
  4. I was 9 years old when HoJos had their special. To me, they were the best thing I ver ate at that time! The last time I had White Castle clam strips, I tasted a bitter aftertaste.
  5. Keyport Fishery looks to be closest to where I'll be in Central NJ.
  6. Clams strips, clam bellies... Love em all! I won't be up in NJ til next weekend. Might try making Rhode Island Clam Cakes made with canned clams this weekend just to scratch the itch!
  7. That was the place! Th Old Bay! Howard Johnsons had that all-u-can-eat fried clam platter on some days and I never got around to doing it because I figured it would always be there.
  8. there was a place in New Brunswick that used to make a pretty decent oyster Poboy. As for fried clams, I’d often settle for the ones at White Castle. Last I checked a couple years ago they were having trouble with supply chain. I asked the manager if they were still on the menu, and he complained that he ordered 30 boxes and only got one. They’re trying to find a new supplier. I think that was in 2021. regarding fried seafood, there is a well regarded fried seafood restaurant here in Fairfax, Virginia, where I would get a nice seafood combo for about 20 bucks. Went looking for dinner there last week and found a two entry combo. Dinner had gone up to around $38! Sticker shock on fried clams!
  9. Suddenly had a craving for fried clams. Best I had was at the Stage House Tavern in Somerset, but I don't think they serve them anymore. I remember tender clam strips as thick as your thumb. But they were crispy and tender inside. Any favorite clam shacks or fried seafod places along the shore?
  10. I think next year, the limit will be reduced half a fish at 24 inches!
  11. Or chase after other species like Sea Herring that have come in to spawn which are legal to catch this time of year if you can find them. Fry 'em up, pickle, or freeze for bass bait later in the spring.
  12. How far in advance does someone need to reserve a boat?
  13. Paul, Thanks for help filling in the blanks! So, of a boat is $2400 and I have a total of six friends. + $480 (20 percent tip?) That would be a total of $2880. (about $480 each?) Any there other fees? Bait? Port Taxes, dock hand gratutity? Do the parking lots have a fee near the docks? Also, when fishing, do they stop when everyone gets a fish? Or does fishing keep hapening until time to go back? ie. 2 hours out, fish for 4 hours and then 2 hours back. Does fishing happen while going out to the site? Or is the boat going too fast for a tuna to hit the bait?
  14. By "crew" you mean friends and family who would be fishing with me? I see some boat with a capacity of "6". Does that mean total fishing customers and crew (captain, first mate, other)? Or Total of 6 people fishing (paying customers)?
  15. I've been looking around on line at some boats and was wondering how it works. Do I just show up on the dock sometime in the summer and pay a fare and hop on? Or do I reserve a spot in advance? How many people can I bring? Can I go solo? How much do these things usually cost? I'm guessing Ocean City is the place to go? Are there other ports?
