Did you guys that like them hard realize they were stale? From the chapter:

"They crumble easily when fresh, but they can become almost as indestructible as hard tack if they are allowed to go stale...

Not really, but I could see how they would be.
Before Allen's for me was a place called the Oyster House in Conshohocken (gone now, not the current one on Fayette)
Always left out in an open bowl on the tables with a container of horseradish.
Maybe that's why I liked Allen's, reminded me of the past.

Speaking of horseradish, pepper palace nasal napalm!

Speaking of places, Cornelius says "The first place in New Jersey I met them was at the Hotel De Crab in the bayside at Beach Haven, a seafood restaurant on stilts over the waters of the thorofare".

Yes! I forgot about eating them with just horseradish. TOCs were the best.

Just saw these at my local Shop Rite today and made me think of this thread

They look like the real deal... Location of said shoprite?
Website says Medford seafood has them

Now as an accoutrement :)
Came across this place accidentally while vacationing in TN
Used to have an outlet in Depford and AC but closed so mail-order now.
If you are in eastern TN stop in the tasting room, you'll find something you like!
