Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable oil for frying
2 lbs clam strips
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cornstarch
½ cup cornmeal
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp curry powder
½ tsp celery salt
½ tsp cayenne
½ tsp salt

Steps:

  • Start by heating the canola oil in a pot over moderate heat until it reaches 380 degrees F.
  • While the oil is being heated, rinse and drain the clam strips in a colander.
  • Stir the clam strips together with buttermilk in a large bowl.
  • Drain the clam strips well in a colander. Let them set over a bowl for at least 5 minutes.
  • In another bowl stir together the cornstarch, cornmeal, flour, curry powder, celery salt, cayenne, and salt.
  • Dredge a handful of drained clams in the flour mixture then shake in a large sieve to remove excess flour.
  • Transfer the clams one by one in a baking sheet and then shake them again to remove any excess flour mixture.
  • Fry the coated clams until they're crisp and golden for about 1 ½ minutes. Then, transfer them onto some paper towels with a slotted spoon for draining. Afterward, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
  • Serve with some potato fries and your desired dipping sauce, and enjoy!
