Clam strips are a popular seafood dish made from the muscle of larger clams, such as surf clams, that are sliced into thin strips, breaded, and often deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating from New England cuisine in the United States, they are commonly served as part of a fried seafood platter or enjoyed on their own as a snack. Clam strips are a source of lean protein, essential vitamins, and minerals like selenium, iron, and B12, supporting energy production and immune health. However, the preparation method significantly impacts their nutritional profile; deep-frying adds calories and unhealthy fats that can outweigh their health benefits. Opting for baked or air-fried versions can make them a lighter choice. Pairing clam strips with wholesome sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can create a more balanced meal. Always check ingredients and allergen information for variations in preparation.
