      To be honest with you I used to go to Aunt Carrie's for almost two decades with my family as well but the one thing I've noticed over the years especially in the last decade is that the quality has gone so far down and the price is going so far up if you really look around you can find small places all around Narragansett that have much better quality for much better prices

    • @sundawg911
      @sundawg911 4 роки тому +6

      Iggys seem to have capitalized it. Nothing wrong with that since it makes sense logically to grow a business. It does seem the quality has gone down based on the expansion and growth. I'd like to try as I've never had a clam cake so it would be a fun food adventure if I am in that area to try different establishments for the "best" clam cake.

    You can’t go wrong with both. I live close to the warwick one and if I ever wanted some a 5 minute trip is all I need. Aunt Carries is the best. Iggys clam cakes are more of a fritter because it’s just batter and a few pieces of clams. I recommend either eating them with chowder or have a soda/ sugary drink to wash it down because the oil will make you feel thirsty. I appreciate Munchies for coming here and documenting a home town favorite.

    I grew up in Oakland Beach in the early fifties. The midway was a fun place back then with a Merry-go-round and arcade games, bumper cars, a movie house, roller skating rink and at least 4 bars Ocean Café, Gus's, Stenders and Jimmy's. The original building Iggy's is in now sold mostly Doughboys. The restaurant across the street from Iggy's was the original home of Joe Carrillo the owner of the movie house and roller rink. I delivered papers to most of these establishments (Providence Evening Bulletin) and to most of the homes in the Sea View Drive area. Hurricane Carole in 1954 wiped out most of the homes along the waterfront. Most were never rebuilt as the 38 hurricane did the same thing earlier. If you walk down the path along the water behind Iggy's you will see some of the foundations. I live in Connecticut so I don't get back to Oakland Beach very often. When we do go it is to dine on clamcakes and chowder at Iggy's.

    Born and raised in the region, family settled the region. I'll tell you this, Aunt Carrie's is so perfectly associated with clam cakes I'm never once been to Iggy's. My runner up would be Portside restaurant across from the Block Island Ferry in Point Judith, just for the convenience of it.

    It's just a fried ball of dough. In the Netherlands we like to put raisin in it and powered sugar on top. It's a popular New Year's Eve's snack going back hundreds of years

    1) I had no idea clam cakes were a thing.

      After that, i thought well bugger me, all i have to do is assert my dominance, and say I'm an expert at something, and then i will be broadcast to thousands off people and written into magazines etc😂 and people will believe i am one.
      Makes a mockery off real chefs like myself, who trained hard to understand food, and produce and how to prep, buy & support local etc,

    Used to frequent this intersection in the mid-60s as a 10 year old kid. Aunt Carries had the best chowder and good clam cakes. The building occupied by Iggy’s in this video was another great place for fried clams and clam cakes called Dick’s Cozy Corner. In the late 60s I seem to remember a little family run Italian place with some very memorable pizza also located here.
