Newick's in Concord

[BroadHopper]

for fried clams is definitely the fried clams shack at the bridge in Kennebunkport harbor. Newicks was great two decades ago and I don't think it is up to par. Last summer I was surprised to be served great fried clams at the Red Blazer in Concord. It was a special so they don't have it on the menu.

Years ago I had great fried clams in Center Harbor at the bottom of the just past the hardware store on the left. Not there anymore.

My in-laws are in Biddeford so I often sample the Clam Shack clams and I'd agree. They're great!

I've been going to Newicks since I was very young. For us it's been a ritual. On the route to the lake, we're almost there when we can stop for a great (and for young parents, fairly cheap) dinner on the way.

I still love to go there and get the combo clams/sea scollops plate. Yum! I have found the clams can vary depending on the "season"

So have you or they tried the pub which is right on the river on Saco Island between the two towns? Or Mulligan's in the old mill building? I am sure you/they have. They are both great. Mulligan's amazes me when I look at the menu and everything is 3.95 or 4.95! Last time I had the best garlic butter steak for 4.95!
