clam strips

Breaded seafood appetizer

Clam strips are pieces of clam meat cut into narrow bands, typically battered and deep-fried.

They're a common item at seafood restaurants and coastal eateries, often served as an appetizer or in a basket with fries: We split an order of clam strips at the beach shack.

Unlike whole belly clams, strips use only the firm foot portion.
