They&#8217;re relatively simple to make, and during the summer months, they&#8217;re one of the best seafood appetizers to enjoy if you like a crispy, savory fresh seafood dish. And unlike the fried, crunchy outer, the soft, pillowy neutral inside is light and lean, resulting in a dish that&#8217;s tender, flaky, crunchy and savory. This recipe calls for just a few basic ingredients, making this take on clam fritters both simple and easily adaptable.

Additionally, the shells should be tightly closed, and they should spring open or close when you touch it. And just a note: Clams are a highly perishable food and should be eaten or cooked immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I tell when clam fritters are done?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually quite easy to tell when clam fritters are done: They&#8217;ll be golden brown and crispy on both sides.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is the dough sticky?<\/h3>\n<p>Clam fritter dough can be quite sticky, so if you&#8217;re suffering with this annoyance, add just a bit more reserved clam juice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clam fritters are a summertime staple along the New England coast, and this savory recipe brings them straight to your dinner table.
