Boulevard Clams

I wish this place was awesome as it is one of the main options for people shaking up in  northern LBI.

for $60 we got

a bucket of fried clams; it was a pretty paltry amount, no accompanying sauces or anything to dunk those babies in.

we had a craving for steamers....piss clams, softshells...the kind with the foot you dip in broth...they told us they could satiate us but the 'steamers' we got were just shriveled clams steamed in the shell.

we got a 'pound' of fries; it was enough for two but not the 9 of us!! for $60 we had hoped to get a lot more.

I'll try some of those other offerings next time.

My review is only for take out clams. Ate here once a few years ago and liked it, but wasn't overwhelmed.

The clams we get here, however are always great and the place is very convenient for us...only three blocks away.  We'll probably try another place tomorrow, but only to do something different.  Still on my mission to eat clams every day I'm down here!

EDIT, EDIT...

Ok, so I actually went to Boulevard Clams three times for clams during our stay and each time the clams seemed better.  On our last day in LBI we got 6-dozen top neck clams and they were awesome.  Thanks to Mick L for ideas about jazzing up the dipping butter!  Normally I wouldn't change my review, but the clams were outstanding and the service was friendly each day...so 4 stars it is...

Just to be clear....my review is for a meal my wife and I had in the summer of 2011.  
To be fair I have not heard from anyone regarding their experiences this summer.  Hopefully they have gotten their act together.
