Chicago is not a clam town. Maybe that’s why I was so surprised by the clamwich at Fish Guy — sweet, fried strips of panko-crusted, sushi-grade surf clam with tender greens and mayo on a toasted bun ($8.95). You must order it ahead, but you’ll be happy you did. Fish Guy Market, 4423 N. Elston Ave.; 773-283-7400, www.fishguy.com
