Bread the Clam Strips
Dip each clam strip first into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with the flour and cornmeal mixture. Shake off any excess breading.

Fry the Clam Strips
Carefully place the breaded clam strips into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through.
