Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large clams Razor clams
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the razor clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, add the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each razor clam in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all the clams.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Working in batches if necessary, fry the breaded clams for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the cooked clams to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the razor clams immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
