Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Clam Strips
Rinse the clam strips under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Coat the Clam Strips
Dip the clam strips into the buttermilk, then dredge them in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry the Clam Strips
Carefully add the coated clam strips to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
