Littlenecks win by a long shot.
Turns out littlenecks and cherrystones are same species just different age, and different tenderness or texture. The cherrystones were good, just big bites and a little tougher. The mahoganies had bits of shell exploding off them while cooking and not much meat, although the shells were pretty big. Taste fine. Just not as good as the littlenecks.

Interesting. Thank you for the reviews, I’ve learned something now. I never knew the difference between these three clams.

What’s the purpose of the skewers, just to keep the brats straight while you fry them?

Yup. That way I can brown all 4 sides.

Neat trick, I’ll keep that in mind!

Mancy’s Steakhouse one of the finest restaurants we have been to.

Brie cheese with a Strawberry and Blueberry Compote

Lobster Bisque Soup. The Lobster was in the bowl and they poured the bisque over the the meat. Very impressive!

French Onion soup no flavor only let down on the whole meal.

Porterhouse with a side of Morel Cream sauce and onion straws. Very good!

The fresh King Craw flown in daily from Boston was amazing.

Each meal came with a huge and very delicious loaded baked potato

Chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup with a raspberry reduction was amazing.

That all sounds great! Well, all except the zucchini. Why would anyone voluntarily eat something called “squash”?

And I forgot pictures too. Smoked brisket and shrimp here, my contribution to the family picnic.

Zucchini and squash are one of my favorites
Fried - grilled-sautéed-especially casseroles

Ok, I will make an exception for zucchini bread. That’s the only way to eat that stuff.
