That's what we had for dinner! And by the way, batter is for fish and what umpires call out!
I don't remember that particular Frates, do remember two in New Bedford. We didn't have much chow mein growing up, but it is good, that's for sure. Okay, okay, you're right....batter is for fish and what umpires call out....lol. Heck, I lived in CA from 1972 until 2006...I'm more of a west coaster....we suffered because we didn't have the great seafoods that you get from the east coast....oh how I missed that. When we would visit my sister in Mattapoisett, we'd eat so much seafood we could have swam back to San Diego...lol. Still eat lots of it when we head up to New England...and it's a much shorter swim back to Florida than it is to CA... Nice to meet you laryb!

Hope Rosanne gets to enjoy some really good clams while here.
