Recipe View Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These fritters pair wonderfully with a spicy aioli or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the batter.
Ensure the clams are thoroughly drained to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
Do not overcrowd the fryer; frying in small batches ensures the oil temperature remains consistent and the fritters cook evenly.
If you don’t have a deep fryer, a heavy-bottomed pot works just as well. Just be sure to monitor the oil temperature carefully.
These fritters are best served immediately, but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.

    I found the batter a bit too thick, so I added a little more milk. They turned out perfectly crispy!

    I added a little bit of Old Bay seasoning to the batter, and it was a game-changer!
