Fried & crispy
Air-Fryer Razor Clams
Crisp without the oil pot
- 15 min
- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 10 cleaned razor clams
- 1 cup panko, 1/4 cup flour, 1 egg
- Olive-oil spray
- Salt, smoked paprika
Method
- Bread the clams: flour, egg, panko mixed with paprika.
- Spray both sides generously with oil — this is what browns them.
- Air-fry at 400°F for 4–5 minutes total, flipping at halfway.
- They’re done when golden; do not run a second cycle.
- Salt and serve with lemon.
Tip. Preheat the air fryer — clams into a cold basket steam instead of crisp.
Start with how to clean a razor clam if your clams are still in the shell. Washington's daily limit is the first 15 you dig, so most recipes here are sized for one limit or less.
Dig them first.
