Wow! I remember HoJo's fried clams, although I have no clue what sort
of clams were used

Most likely, and I would not be surprised, they
were probably 'canned' ????
Dang! It seems many HoJo's still exist, go figure

Reference
http://www.hojo.com/hotels/destinations - although I don't believe
they're as numerous as they used to be. Alas, the HoJo in my local area
went 'bye-bye' more than 20-plus years ago. Times change, etc.
