Steps:
- For dip:
- Mix all ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- For fritters:
- Whisk flour, salt, baking soda and cayenne pepper in medium bowl to blend. Mix in drained clams, corn, green onions and egg. Stir in 1/2 cup buttermilk. Mix in enough remaining buttermilk to form stiff batter (do not overmix).
- Pour enough vegetable oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 inch. Heat oil to 350°F over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls into oil. Cook until fritters are golden brown, turning once, about 2 1/2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to rack to drain. Serve hot, passing cilantro dip separately.

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:
- For the best results, use fresh clams. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams will also work.
- Be sure to chop the clams finely. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry the fritters in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the fritters to steam instead of fry.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
