Some say Woodman's in Essex invented the Clam Roll while Clam Box in Ipswich perfected it. It could be a matter of taste as Woodman's are smaller lightly battered delights while Clam Box offers a heartier, crunchier version. Woodman's has superior tartare sauce while Clam Box has the better "wafer thin" roll. They are 20 minutes from each other so let the competition continue!
