Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bottled clam juice
1/4 cup pilsnet beer
1/4 lb fresh scallops, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 small jalapeno pepper, minced
tartar sauce
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat 2" of oil to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the all purpose floue with cornmeal, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt and pinch of black pepper. Add the eggs, clam broth, and beer, and whisk until the batter is smooth. Fold in scallops, scallions, onion, and jalapeno.
  • Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the oil and fry, turing occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritter to paper towels. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
