Fried fish, clams, scallops, shrimp, onion rings or fresh boiled lobster. A visit to Essex means eating at Woodmans.

Woodman's claims to be the inventor of the fried clam, and they certainly sell a lot of them! They also have a lobster bake and other fried favorites. 121 Main St., Essex

If you know anything about Essex it's this place! You can't miss this stop and the world famous fried clams. Or really fried anything.

There are Woodman's people and there are Farnham's people and we are WOODMAN'S. Great seafood shack - rustic and casual. BEST onion rings!
