From the beach to the fryer

I would be glad to trade anyone elk for clams any day, love razors.

Let me know if you ever make it this way...I may be willing to share some

I grind the necks for chowder, fritters is a great idea for them too. Same flavor as the other tender parts, but tough as rubber.

Need to get my crew out this year. Had me and two boys last year, me, wife, and 6 kids this year! Glad I found out they freeze cleaned and sorted just fine!

Great fun, great eating!

If you put them in plastic containers with 50/50 milk/water they freeze great and last a long time

For the first time in a long time I have 0 clams in the freezer and my mouth is F*ing watering right now. Flour , egg wash ,  cracker meal/ crushed saltines and quick fried in canola is my favorite. With tiger sauce, a sweet hot sauce you can get at the beehive, Duffy's and most grocery stores ( it's delicious on pretty much anything). I also like fritters for a change . Good gawd I need to get out for some fresh razors.

I vacuum seal the diggers raw for future fries.  Everything else gets either canned (Icemans Smoked Razor Clams for half of them ALWAYS) or pressure cooked, vacuum sealed and frozen.  I love eating them almost as much as any of our caught/killed stuff.

If you're necks are tough, you're cooking them wrong. Hot and fast is the secret to tender necks that you can cut with a fork. Get the oil hot and just cook long enough to brown each side.

How hot and how fast?  I cook mine in the oven most of the time on broil for 1.5 mins then turn them over and cook another 1.5 mins and the necks are far from tender.
