Razor Clam Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Mix onions, celery, green pepper and pancake mix together. Add clams and juice to other ingredients, then add beer till you have a very thick mixture that can be dropped from spoon into hot oil at 375 . You may not need all the beer because of the clam juice. Drop by spoonful in oil - cook 2 min. per side - test, if not cooked- drop by smaller spoonfuls.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the crumbs, clams and pimiento. Season with some salt and pepper. Stir the yolks into the batter and moisten with enough milk to make a heavy batter.
• Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a non-stick skillet and cook until browned on both sides. Serve over an arugula or sliced tomato salad.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, egg with clams; mix well until batter is well blended. In a wide frying pan, heat butter and oil over medium high heat until it foams but doesn't brown. Drop clam batter into hot fat by heaping tablespoonfuls, adding as many spoonfuls as will fit without crowding. I usually get 6 to 7 or 8 fritters. Cook, turning once, until fritters are browned on both sides (less than a minute per side). Salt to taste and serve immediately on heated plates. Serves 2.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold clams in a single layer with foil. Use a paring knife to gently pry apart the clamshells and then cut the meat away, discarding any gritty dark parts and a half-inch of the dark, hard siphon. Place clam meat in the better-looking shell half.
• Pour oil into 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until softened. Add parsley, sauté briefly, then stir in bread crumbs. Sauté, stirring, until bread crumbs are uniformly moistened with oil and starting to color. Season generously with pepper. Remove from heat.
• Using a teaspoon, cover each clam with bread crumb mixture, patting it on with the back of the spoon. Do this over the skillet so that any crumbs that fall go back into the pan and are used. Place clams on baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Drain clams, reserving the juice. Coarsely chop clams (I run them through the grinder).
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir into chopped clams with combined clam juice and eggs.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls into a little hot fat or salad oil in skillet (I use a deep-fat fryer) and fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Beat the egg and gradually beat in the flour. Slowly stir in the milk, clams, salt, pepper and onion. If desired, stir in the green pepper. With hands shape mixture into 2 inch diameter patties.
• In a medium skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the patties in the hot oil until golden brown. Place cooked fritters on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

Steps:

• Preheat your oil or fat to 360°F.
• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Combine dry ingredients, milk and clam juice into a batter that is smooth and free from lumps.
• Fold in clams, mixing thoroughly.
• Drop from a spoon into hot fat and fry for about a minute or until golden brown on all sides.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• In a bowl, mix crushed crackers with black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Place eggs in a separate bowl. Dip clams into eggs, then into cracker mixture to evenly coat.
• Fry clams in the hot oil until golden brown. Do not over cook.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; set aside. Drain clams, reserving 2 tablespoons juice; set clams aside. In a small bowl, beat the egg, milk and reserved clam juice; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Add the clams and onion. , In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Serve fritters with tartar sauce and/or lemon wedges if desired.
