Clam Sliders

Party-size fritter burgers

  • 35 min
  • Medium
  • Makes 8 sliders

Ingredients

  • Fritter batter with 10 chopped clams (see Fritters)
  • 8 slider buns
  • Remoulade or tartar
  • Butter lettuce, tomato, pickles

Method

  1. Fry fritters slightly wider and flatter than usual — patty-shaped.
  2. Toast the slider buns.
  3. Sauce both sides of each bun.
  4. Stack: lettuce, fritter, pickle, top bun.
  5. Skewer to hold; serve warm.

Tip. Make the patties ahead and re-crisp 60 seconds in a hot pan at party time.

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.
