A Rhode Island institution in Middletown just outside Newport, Flo’s Clam Shack has been serving the region’s most beloved fried clams, clam cakes, and New England seafood since 1936: a no-frills roadside clam shack that has earned legendary status through ninety years of consistent quality and the direct, honest seafood culture that Rhode Island does better than anywhere else. Cold Narragansett beers, fried whole belly clams, and the chowder that locals have been arguing is the state’s best for generations.
