A simple recipe for fried razor clams, a western Washington treat. Sometimes I fry the bodies, reserving the tougher necks for chowder. Dip in cocktail sauce. The spicier the better for me!
This marvelous sauce is the reason you grow your own tomatoes. Dice a few and add minced garlic, fresh basil and the best quality olive oil you can buy. Let the heady mixture rest at room temperature for a few hours, then toss with hot pasta.
These Creole-spiced shell fish morsels make a delicious side dish or appetizer. The key is to use a small amount of crumbled crackers instead of breadcrumbs for a lighter, less-starchy cake.
