Steps:
- For the clams: In a large pot over high heat, add the oil and when hot, add the thyme, jalapeno, garlic, and lemon. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the white wine, red chile flakes, and butter. Bring this mixture to a boil and then add the clams. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the clams and strain over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. When clams are cool enough to handle, remove from their shells and chop.
- Guy's tip: If using canned baby clams, build the clam liquid the same as above and then add the baby clams and 1/3 cup of the can liquid into the broth, turn off heat and let sit 15 minutes. No need to chop these!
- For the fritter batter: In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and, when melted, add the red bell pepper, onions, and jalapenos. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes, and then add the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and cook for 1 minute more. Remove to a plate to cool.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix well. Make a well in the center and add the beer and the egg yolks, and fold together with a rubber spatula until well combined. Add in the cooled vegetable mixture, the chopped clams, and 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the reserved, strained cooking broth. You are looking for the consistency of pancake batter.
- In a large skillet over high heat, add the canola oil and when hot (200 degrees F) add the fritter batter in 1/3 cup amounts, careful not to crowd. Be cautious, these pop sometimes, splattering hot oil. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, gently turn over and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with reserved salt and repeat. Can be held warm in a 275 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges, the remaining 1 tablespoon minced parsley, and the Fritter Dipper Sauce.
- In the small bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the egg yolk, vinegar, horseradish, and salt and pulse to combine. With the motor running, very slowly add in the olive oil in a fine stream.
- Once mayonnaise is created, add the remaining ingredients, and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Guy's Tip: If you have time, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes allow flavors to marry.
SEAFOOD FRITTERS WITH MARMALADE DIPPING SAUCE
I love seafood fritters with marmalade dipping sauce because when ever I make them they go flying off the plate and we can't ever make enough of them. They are finger food so that they are easy to eat at parties. If you don't want to use your fingers you can always use skewers or tooth picks too. These little nuggets are packed...

CLAM FRITTERS
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.

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.

CLAM FRITTERS WITH ORANGE DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet, add chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent and tender. Scoop onion out of skillet and set aside. Set skillet aside without washing it. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, beat milk and egg together, then add to dry mixture, stirring until well mixed. Stir clams into batter. Heat 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet, set it over medium-high heat and heat until hot but not smoking. Scoop up clam mixture with a 1/4 cup measuring cup and transfer to skillet, leaving about 1 inch between each fitter. Reduce heat to medium, and cook fritters 3 minutes on the first side, flip and cook 3 minutes on second side or until fritter mixture is cooked through. Transfer as finished to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and set in a 200-degree oven. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet, heat again until hot. Add remaining fritter mixture by the 1/4-cup measure and cook 3 minutes on the first side, flip and 3 minutes on the second side. Add to baking sheet in oven. In a small bowl, combine dipping sauce ingredients. Serve fritters hot from the oven with small bowls of dipping sauce.
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 before using.
- Chop the clams finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the fritters and will also prevent them from becoming tough.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the batter tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help them to cook evenly and will prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Serve the fritters hot with the orange dipping sauce. The orange dipping sauce is a great way to add a little bit of sweetness and tang to the fritters.
Conclusion:
Clam fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. The orange dipping sauce is a great way to add a little bit of sweetness and tang to the fritters. With these tips, you can make perfect clam fritters every time.
