We're going deep on fried clams, with forays into other New England seafood classics, the woes of the local fishing industry, and why rivalries are good for business. To enlighten us on the clam wars in Essex and so much more, we're joined by Ted Reinstein, a longtime reporter for Chronicle on WCVB Channel 5 and author of Wicked Pissed: New England’s Most Famous Feuds.
