Lemon wedges, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill relish

Steps:

  • Combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

  • Sprinkle the clams with salt and pepper and transfer to a platter. Serve with the Tartar and Cocktail sauces and lemon wedges.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise, relish, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 lemons, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
48 Ipswich or other soft-shell clams (also known as steamers)
Peanut oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
2 cups buttermilk
1 recipe Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
1 large egg yolk
1 small egg
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup peanut oil
6 cornichons, finely diced
1 tablespoon drained capers, finely diced
1/2 small onion, minced (1/4 cup)
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Put the lemon slices on a tray and sprinkle both sides with salt and sugar. Transfer the slices to a rack and place in a dry area for 3 hours so the lemons can dehydrate. Rinse well in cold water and pat dry. Set aside.
  • Shuck the clams if you have purchased them in the shell. Slide an oyster knife into the unhinged side of each clam, carefully prying open the shells. Slice the knife around the margin of the clam meat, scraping the bottom of the shell to loosen the clam in 1 piece. Discard the shells. Slip off and discard the black sheath surrounding the siphon (the small "neck"). Rinse the shucked clams in running cold water.
  • Heat the peanut oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Stir together the flour, salt, and peppers in a mixing bowl. Pour the buttermilk into a second, shallow bowl.
  • Fry the lemon slices first: dip each slice into the buttermilk and then into the seasoned flour. Fry the slices in small batches until they just turn golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels. The lemons can be fried 1 hour in advance and kept in a warm oven.
  • Remove any of the cooked lemon particles from the oil using a small metal strainer or a long-handled slotted spoon.
  • Dip each clam into the buttermilk and then into the seasoned flour. Place them in the hot oil individually (they tend to clump together). Cook in batches until crispy and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and transfer to a tray lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Arrange the clams on a warm tray with a bowl of Tartar Sauce and the fried lemons.
  • Combine the yolk, egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste, in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 seconds. With the machine running, add a thin, steady stream of oil until the mayonnaise is emulsified (smooth, thick and creamy). Fold in the remaining ingredients, taste, and adjust the seasonings.

FRIED IPSWICH WHOLE BELLY CLAMS WITH TARTAR SAUCE



Fried Ipswich Whole Belly Clams with Tartar Sauce image

Provided by Sandy Ingber

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Fry     Seafood     Clam     Summer     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
6 large eggs
3 cups cracker meal (see Notes)
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 pounds (about 4 cups) Ipswich clams, drained (see Notes)
Canola oil for frying
Tartar Sauce

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set up for what we call "standard breading procedure": Put the flour in a shallow bowl; put the eggs in a second shallow bowl and beat them with a fork; put the cracker meal, bread crumbs, cornmeal, and Old Bay in a third shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Spread the clams out on several layers of paper towels and blot them as dry as possible.
  • Heat about 3 inches of canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat to 360°F.
  • Toss the clams in the flour and shake off any excess. Dip the clams into the egg, coating them completely. Lift them out by the handful and let any excess egg drip off, then put the clams into the breading mixture and toss to coat them completely. Keep one hand dry and use the other hand for wet. Transfer to the baking sheet. If the breading begins to clump, put it through a coarse sieve.
  • Fry the clams in small batches-crowding the pan will lower the temperature of the oil and the clams will come out greasy-until golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.
  • Pile the clams on 4 dinner plates and serve with individual bowls of tartar sauce-and some fries.
