Ingredients

  • 10 razor clams, chopped
  • 1 cup panko + 1 egg + 2 tbsp mayo + 1 tsp Dijon + Old Bay
  • 4 brioche buns
  • Slaw mixed with tartar sauce
  • Butter for the pan

Method

  1. Mix clams, panko, egg, mayo, Dijon and Old Bay; rest 15 minutes.
  2. Form 4 patties; pan-fry in butter 3 minutes a side.

Tip. The rest lets the panko hydrate so patties do not crumble.

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.

DigTide tells you the minute a dig is approved, then shows the window to be on the sand.
