CLAM FRITTERS



Clam Fritters image

This is a recipe for classic New England clam fritters prepared as conch fritters are in the Bahamas, with a low zip of jalapeno heat and a high one of lime juice. I serve them with my version of the ubiquitous mayo-ketchup sauce of the Lucayan archipelago. These fritters are terrific when prepared with freshly shucked clams, but if you don't want to open clams by hand, they are still excellent with lightly steamed ones. A deep cast-iron skillet placed over a gas grill allows you to fry the fritters outdoors if you like, reducing kitchen mess. Or if you don't wish to fry, you can treat the batter as if it were for pancakes. The flavor abides, if not the full crispiness.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 18

36 cherrystone clams
1 1/2 cups or 180 grams all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 red onion, peeled and diced
1/2 red pepper, seeded and diced
2 ribs celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 cup clam broth or clam liquor
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 to 3 cups neutral oil, like canola
2 scallions, chopped
2 limes, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice (the juice of 1 or 2 limes)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Either open the clams by hand, reserving both the juice within them and the clams, or steam the clams until they just open, reserving both the broth and the clams. Put the clams on a cutting board, and chop them coarsely.
  • Put the flour in a mixing bowl, and add to it the egg yolks, onion, red pepper, celery, garlic, jalapeño and clams, then mix to combine. Add the clam broth to the mixture, and stir until it is a thick batter running almost to loose.
  • Make the sauce. Whisk together the ketchup, mayonnaise, hot sauce and lime juice in a medium-size bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add more mayonnaise, hot sauce or lime juice if desired.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff, then whisk the baking powder into the clam batter, and carefully fold the egg whites into it afterward.
  • Heat enough oil to come up an inch or so on the sides of a large, deep frying pan until it is quite hot, approximately 350 degrees. Drop the batter by the tablespoon into the hot oil, making sure not to crowd the pan, and cook, turning once or twice, until the fritters are golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place on a warmed platter. Serve with the sauce on the side, with the scallions and wedges of lime.

CHERRYSTONE CLAM AND CORN FRITTERS



Cherrystone Clam And Corn Fritters image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield about 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 cherrystone clams
1 large ear of corn on the cob, about 6 ounces
1 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Sweet red pepper sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Open the clams, and save both the juice and the clams. There should be about 2 cups of liquid and about 1 1/4 cups of clams. Put the clams on a flat surface and chop them until they are coarse-fine.
  • Shuck the corn, and cut the kernels from the cob. There should be about 1 cup.
  • Put the flour in a mixing bowl, and add the chopped clams, 3/4 cup of the reserved clam liquid (the rest may be discarded or put to another use), corn, egg yolks, tarragon, baking powder, salt, pepper and Tabasco.
  • Blend well.
  • Beat the whites until stiff, pour them over the batter, and fold them in.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet, and when it is quite hot, add about 1/4 cup of the batter at a time, keeping each fritter separated. Continue adding batter in this manner until the skillet is filled without crowding.
  • Cook about 1 minute or slightly longer on one side or until the edges of the fritters start to brown. Turn and cook 1 minute or slightly longer on the other side. As the fritters are cooked, transfer them to sheets of absorbent paper towels. Continue making fritters until all the batter is used.
  • Use about 2 additional tablespoons of oil for each batch of fritters. Serve the fritters with sweet red pepper sauce spooned over.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your fritters the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the clams finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the fritters.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the fritters hot. They are best when served immediately after cooking.

Conclusion:

Brissin clam fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
