Thanks BakersBoy…I never heard of freshwater clams..perhaps brackish water…but never freshwater….so I hope I didn’t offend anyone. I’m sure there are better wing joints nowadays..as Anchor has gotten to famous for it’s britches….and I would love to try all those freshwater fish….

Valpo Mike…give us a report when you return so I can then drool.

Too All,

There are such things as freshwater clams. They do exist in the "Big Water", known as Lake Erie or Ontario. In Buffalo they also have fried oysters,oyster bakes and oyster stew . The best "Lake Food" can be found at any number of places especially on a Friday. That would include lake perch, pike, bass, muskie, trout and coho salmon. You could try the Four Seasons in Eggertsville or if you have a car drive down to Sunset Bay near Silver Creek. There are for or five excellent restaurants there. If you are really brave go another 12 miles to Helwigs in Dunkirk and have a wonderful fish fry. If I were you I would stay away from the Anchor Bar. Over the past ten years they have turned into a tourist trap.

Valpo Mike..you’re kidding..right? Clams in Buffalo? uh…yes it’s near big water…Niagara Falls….as far as saltwater….you would need to drive due east..on I-90 across NYS and then across Massachusetts to get to the ocean…

I’m sure you can get clams there…but you might be better off with freshwater fish in a fish fry…or maybe even wings…after all..it is Buffalo…and there’s the Anchor Bar
