The doughboy is a wonderful item whose northeast cognates are the malasada or flipper, and which even resembles the scones of Utah, the sopaipillas of New Mexico and the beignets of New Orleans. It is a hot puff of fried dough served straight from the kettle after being blanketed all around with a thick coat of crunchy sugar. It is tender and just slightly chewy, like an airy doughnut but without the avoirdupois, and while it goes with any seafood, it is addictive all by itself.

Iggy's snail salad was just as good as the one served up in Warwick: a unique Ocean State passion that is super-garlicky and refreshing. We also enjoyed our Iggy Burger, which is a nice cheeseburger festooned with fried onions and peppers. On the other hand, we must say that an order of fried clams was atrocious: oily, brackish and an invitation to indigestion. We each ate one and quit, wondering if another red tide had interrupted the local clam supply. Apparently not, according to experts we asked. Maybe it was just a bad day for Iggy's clams. We'll try them again ... but with caution.

Note that this Iggy's hours are seasonal. The other one, on Oaklande Beach Avenue in Warwick, is open year-around.
