Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 egg, beaten
2 cups panko
4 pounds razor clams
Salt and Pepper
1 cup vegetable oil ( amount of oil may depend on the depth of your pan)
Optional lemon or tartar sauce

Preparation

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
Use a paper towel to pat the razor clam meat dry.
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
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
Remove with tongs onto a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
