Ingredients




1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
 cup clam juice
2 eggs, beaten
 cup milk
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 geoduck clam, cleaned and diced
Vegetable oil

Great with fresh lemon, tartar sauce, or aioli.

Preparation

1 Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl. 2 Add the clam juice, eggs, and milk and beat thoroughly with a wire whisk. Fold in the butter and geoduck. 3 Fill a large frying pan halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees. Very carefully, drop large spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, or until the fritters are golden brown on both sides. 4 Drain on paper towels, then transfer the fritters to a 200 degree oven to keep warm. 5 Serve hot!
