A simple recipe for fried razor clams, a western Washington treat. Sometimes I fry the bodies, reserving the tougher necks for chowder. Dip in cocktail sauce. The spicier the better for me! Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil for frying, or as needed |
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, finely crushed |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 eggs, beaten |
4 large razor clams, cleaned and dried |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. 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.
3. Fry clams in the hot oil until golden brown. Do not over cook.
