Fried Razor Clams

Directions

1. 1
   Separate the flour, beaten egg and panko into three separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with Old Bay Seasoning and salt and pepper and mix well.
2. 2
   Use a paper towel to pat the razor clam meat dry.
3. 3
   In batches, use your fingertips or a fork to coat the razor clams in the seasoned flour. Next, place each clam into the beaten egg mixture, and lastly into the panko and onto a plate.
4. 4
   Heat vegetable oil into a medium deep-sided saute pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot- (test this by dropping in a piece of panko to see if it sizzles)- add each breaded razor clam into the hot oil and fry each side for approximately 30 seconds each side.
5. 5
   Remove with tongs onto a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
