Aunt carrie s narragansett ri phantom gourmet


Aunt Carrie's (1240 Ocean Road, Narragansett, RI 02882) is an award-winning seafood restaurant in the Point Judith neighborhood of Narragansett, Rhode Island and first opened in 1920 by Carrie and Ulysses Cooper. In 1994, her grandson Bill died and since then his wife and now their two daughters run the restaurant (the fourth generation to do so). Family legend has it that the clam cake was invented here when Carrie Cooper added fresh clams to the corn fritters.
