Clams,scallops & fries

  Woodman’s of Essex  is a well loved  establishment that has been frying up clams since 1914  and most of their menu just happens to be gluten-free!  There are many choices and the portions are generous.  Fried clams, scallops, haddock, chicken fingers, clam chowder and fries are a few of the gluten-free menu choices available. 

Check out their gluten-free menu for the full listing.  All breaded items are  prepared with ground corn meal, no other flour is used. But note, the food is dipped in evaporated milk before being coated.  Be sure to tell the cashier that your order is gluten-free so they can use clean utensils. 

 It is a casual  fun place to visit in any season.  In warmer months diners can sit outside on picnic  benches over looking the Essex River.  For many, it just wouldn’t be summer without a trip to Woodman’s.

Update:  Woodman’s Restaurant has opened another location in Litchfield, NH. They can be found in the Mel’s Funway Complex and have the same delicious gluten-free items and, I’m told, when not busy they will make you gluten-free onion rings!
