Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clam Strips

    Rinse the fresh clam strips under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. In a third bowl, add the cornmeal.

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Clam Strips

    Take each clam strip, first dip it into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with cornmeal. Place the breaded clam strips on a plate and repeat until all strips are coated.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Clam Strips

    Carefully add the breaded clam strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.

  3. 6

    Remove and Drain

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried clam strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the clam strips hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. Enjoy!
