REAL fried clams (not strips) can be had at Seafood Galley; however Seafood Galley has moved to the former Dairy Queen/Thai Restaurant building on 27/441. A man from Ipswich, MA opened a restaurant near New Smyrna Beach and has his clams flown in daily. So, the decision is: spend the $ on fried clams in The Villages or spend the $ on gas to go to the beach!
