Autumn is a great time for discovering Massachusetts craft ciders

REGION – In the late 17th century, hard cider was a popular staple across Colonial Massachusetts. The colonists planted acres of apple trees when they settled, making the fruit readily available. Falling out of popular favor, hard cider once again became a sought-after seasonal adult beverage in the 1980s and has since exploded in popularity. The advent of talented craftspeople who create unique flavors in small batches sets the stage for dedicated followers who enjoy a refreshing low-alcohol beverage as an alternative to beer.

This No-Frills Essex, Massachusetts Clam Shack Fries Whole Bellies Right Beside the Salt Marsh

There’s a trophy on display for the best fried clams, and it sits inside a modest little shack beside a salt marsh. I love that the prize lives somewhere this humble. The clams are whole bellies, fried with a light coating that lets their sweetness come through. Out back, picnic tables face winding tidal creeks and tall marsh grass.
