Title: clam strips/necks need ideas
Post by: runamuk on November 04, 2012, 11:58:35 AM: well it seems the bag I thought was frozen cod/white fish is actually strips of clam ...I am not a fan of clams I am even less a fan of waste so trying to find a way to prepare these and sort of disguise that they are clams.

we have a laundry list of cannot do...no chowder(I cant do milk) no cheeses as kid can't have cheese right now, so alfredo type white sauces also out.....

tempted to either bread and fry to kinda crispy and then dip in something or maybe saute with onions garlic and stuff.....anyone got a good way to make these clams less clammy :dunno: :chuckle:

To bread, dredge in corn starch, then beaten eggs, then the bread crumbs, right into the oil.

Post by: runamuk on November 04, 2012, 01:34:27 PM: thinking fried that way if I still find them too clammy I can dunk them in sauce of some sort :chuckle:

Post by: pianoman9701 on November 05, 2012, 07:48:52 AM: We had geoduck this weekend. One three-lb clam is worth $105. We ate the siphon in a raw ceviche (thinly sliced with lemon juice, salt, and green onion), and sliced the body into medallions and breaded and fried it in olive oil. It was an amazing dinner.

no chowder(I cant do milk)

You're missing one of life's great pleasures. Manhattan Style Clam Chowder.

This is one of the many recipes, but you could substitute razor clams in the future.

Mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Post by: Fl0und3rz on November 05, 2012, 09:28:54 AM: Fair warning. It is the essence of life. Full of bacony, spicy, tomatoey goodness. You can always kick the clams to the side, if you don't like chawing on them. I am going to have to make a pot this week now.
