How to Make Clam Strips With Fresh Clams
Clam strips are enjoyed by many people throughout the world but are most notable for their New England fan base. The fan fare in New England may be due to the fact that fried clams originated in Essex County Massachusetts in 1914. Clam strips are commonly served fried and do not feature the digestive system of the clam. The "clam belly" is removed prior to cooking. Clam strips can be cooked at home using simple cookware and some shortening.
Things You'll Need
- 6 to 8 fried clams
- 4 tbsp. of flour
- 2 beaten eggs
- Pan
- Shortening
- Stove
- Plate
Instructions
-
Wash clams thoroughly and strip the clams of their digestive system. Remove the "clam belly" completely.
-
Mix 4 tbsp. of flour with two beaten eggs.
-
Place shortening in a pan and place the pan on a stove. Apply heat to the pan.
-
Cover clams with the flour and egg mix and place them onto the shortening in the heated pan. Let them sit until golden brown. You may move them around in the pan with a coking utensil to avoid burning parts of the clam strip.
-
Remove clams from the pan and put them onto a plate.
