I know this post is from last year but I just wanted to point out that two "experts" here have mentioned that it takes AT LEAST several hours for any type of food poisoning to set in and cause symptoms. That said, it's clear that Wannabe's illness could not have been caused by the food they ate because they felt sick "on the way home", unless they hung around in the parking lot for several hours and then drove home, which is unlikely. Also, Wannabe and Wannabe's mother BOTH got sick, so it's unlikely that both the clams & haddock caused the illness.
It's very likely that they overindulged in the rich food (as mentioned earlier) and/or had already injested some form of stomach virus on the prior day and it became symptomatic just coincidentally as they were finishing their meals at Johnson's.
I should add that I have eaten at both of the other two Johnson locations on several occasions and have been highly impressed each time.
