15 razor clams
high heat cooking oil
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cracker crumbs
3 whole eggs
salt to taste
Clean and rinse the clams as needed; make sure you drain and dry them well.
Stir together the flour, cracker crumbs, and eggs in a bowl until you have a batter. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
Now put the clams in the batter, stir around to coat well.
Get out a large heavy cast iron skillet and pour in enough oil so you have about 1/2 inch in the skillet. Heat over medium high heat until oil sizzles when a drop of water is dropped in.
Carefully pick up a few clams, let the batter run off a little, then gently place in the hot oil. Fry undisturbed for 1 minute, then carefully flip over and fry another minute or until batter is golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel covered rack and immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.
Serve warm.
