    yeahhhhhhhhhhbudddddddyyyyyyy: But the most spectacular appearance of Brooklyn’s iconic bivalve is on a clam roll ($16), featuring full-belly littlenecks with creamy tartar sauce and a few shreds of lettuce for color contrast. Even in Connecticut—which is famous for its clam rolls—you can’t get a better one. Another regular-menu selection is steamers cooked in garlic, beer, and chilies. Fifteen or so to an order, these represent a different species, known to marine biologists as siphon clams but to generations of Brooklyn kids as “piss clams.” Why? Because they’re found on the borough’s beaches buried in sand, identifiable by a small burbling hole. Stomp next to it, and a stream of liquid shoots hilariously skyward. That’s Village Voice food critic Robert Sietsema enjoying every sandwich in his review of Littleneck from this week’s paper. 2 FOR ONE PISS CLAM SPECIAL
