Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold clams in a single layer with foil. Use a paring knife to gently pry apart the clamshells and then cut the meat away, discarding any gritty dark parts and a half-inch of the dark, hard siphon. Place clam meat in the better-looking shell half.
- Pour oil into 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until softened. Add parsley, sauté briefly, then stir in bread crumbs. Sauté, stirring, until bread crumbs are uniformly moistened with oil and starting to color. Season generously with pepper. Remove from heat.
- Using a teaspoon, cover each clam with bread crumb mixture, patting it on with the back of the spoon. Do this over the skillet so that any crumbs that fall go back into the pan and are used. Place clams on baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges.

PANKO-BREADED FRIED RAZOR CLAMS
I grew up on the West Coast where these tasty little treats are found. You can vary the amount of ingredients used in the recipe according to the number of clams you have, but be sure to use real Parmesan cheese and only panko crumbs, not regular bread crumbs. Pound the necks with a meat tenderizer, or deep fry them, if desired. These are delicious!!!

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen razor clams. If using frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes. - Pat the clams dry before coating them in flour. This will help the flour adhere better and prevent the clams from sticking together. - Season the flour with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Smoked paprika and Italian seasoning can also add a lovely flair to the clams. - Make sure the oil is hot before adding the clams. Using a meat thermometer is a great way to precisely determine when the oil is at the ideal temperature, around 350°F (175°C). This will help the clams cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy. - Cook the clams in a single layer so that they can cook evenly. If necessary, cook the clams in batches. - Cook the clams until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. - Serve the clams immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon butter sauce.Conclusion:
Oven-fried razor clams are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to cook, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
