Have gone to Jimmy Jones in Rochester numerous times and don't doubt they're on the list! Never tried the other 4.

Every weekend, when I travel through Alton Bay, my car gets violently sucked to the side of the curb in front of Pop's and then, strangely, I black out for a little while.

By the time I come to, I'm parked at the marina, big smile on my face, the inside of my car smells like fried seafood, shrimp tails are in the cup holder, onion rings between the seat and center console, dirty napkins piled in my lap and my clothes are covered with crumbs and tarter sauce.

Aliens??..........Alton Bay Triangle?????........Heaven!

P.S. of course I eat the crumbs on my shirt

Last time we went we got the large (read humongous) boat and the amount of clams they gave was way too much for two. Nevertheless, we managed to scarf the whole boat down. Pooch had a portion too.
Really, the huge boat (no fries) would feed a family! Pricey, but worth it!

Went to Pop's for the first time a few days ago. Scallops were plump and delicious. Onion rings were thin- lots of them but not much to chew on. I like full-bellied clams to have a "full belly"- meaning moist and chewy. Mine were fried to the point where they might just as well have been clam strips- kind of disappointed after all of the great reviews here.

i would go again to see if I could get them to cooked the way I like them- portion sizes were good.
