Gluten-Free Fried Clams image

Came up with this easy, gluten-free recipe to tame my craving for fried clams. They came out every bit as good as I remember having at seafood restaurants before my Celiac diagnosis. I like them with French fries, lemon or lime wedges, and tartar sauce or seafood cocktail sauce. Yum!

Time 1h1m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

48 littleneck clams, shucked and drained
1 cup 2% milk
½ cup gluten-free all purpose baking flour
½ cup masa harina
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place shucked clams in a small bowl. Pour in milk; toss clams gently with a fork to cover evenly. Let soak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine flour, masa harina, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a plastic container with a lid. Seal container and shake to blend flour mixture.
  • Remove clams one at a time from the milk and place in the flour mixture; shake gently to coat. Shake off excess flour and place on a plate.
  • Heat 3/4 inch oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Fry clams in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

These gluten-free fried clams were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more seasoning.

These gluten-free fried clams were good, but not great. I think I would have liked them better if I had used fresh clams instead of frozen.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gluten-free fried clams were really tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

These gluten-free fried clams were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.

I was a bit skeptical about trying this recipe because I'm not a big fan of gluten-free fried foods. But I was pleasantly surprised! These clams were really good. The coating was crispy and the clams were tender and flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out great. The clams are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The gluten-free coating is also really good.
