Fried & crispy
Clam Strips Po’ Boy Basket
Fried clams, fries, slaw — the full basket
- 35 min
- Medium
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 10 cleaned razor clams, in strips
- Beer batter or panko coating (see those recipes)
- Frozen fries or 2 russets, cut
- 2 cups slaw mix + 3 tbsp mayo + splash vinegar
- Lemon and tartar sauce
Method
- Get the fries going first — oven or fryer.
- Stir the quick slaw; chill it.
- Fry the clam strips last, 60–90 seconds, so they land hot.
- Line a basket with paper, pile fries, clams, slaw on the side.
- Lemon over everything.
Tip. The order matters: slaw first, fries second, clams last 2 minutes.
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.
