If you're in Portland, the Clam Bar is a must-visit! The casual shack vibe gives it a fun, homey feel. I indulged in their loaded fries - an impressive appetizer worth sharing - and a crispy fish sandwich that truly hit the spot. The staff were engaging and helpful, making the ordering process smooth.

I loved the outdoor seating, paired with a glimpse of the water. Don't forget to try the blueberry soda; it's refreshing! Overall, a great spot for fast, delicious seafood... 🌊
