A clam roll is a popular seafood dish, particularly in coastal regions of the United States. It typically consists of fried or steamed clams served in a soft, toasted bun. The clams are often breaded and deep-fried, giving them a crispy texture that contrasts with the softness of the bun. Clam rolls are often accompanied by condiments such as tartar sauce or lemon wedges to enhance their flavor. They are commonly found at seafood shacks and restaurants, especially during the summer months when clam harvesting is at its peak.
