fried clams
Breaded seaside morsels
Fried clams are clams that have been breaded or battered and deep-fried, a preparation particularly associated with New England coastal cuisine.
They're typically served as an appetizer or casual meal, often with tartar sauce: We stopped at a roadside shack for fried clams.
The dish may use whole clams (belly clams) or just the chewy strips.
