Fried clams in a buttered split-top bun
- 25 min
- Easy
- Makes 4 rolls
Ingredients
- 12 razor clams, fried crispy
- 4 split-top hot dog buns
- 4 tbsp butter
- Shredded lettuce, tartar sauce
- Lemon wedges
Method
- Butter the flat sides of the buns; griddle until golden.
- Thin line of tartar and lettuce in each.
- Pile in the hot fried clams — overstuff shamelessly.
- More tartar on top, lemon over everything.
- Serve with chips and a view.
Tip. The griddled bun is non-negotiable; it is half the sandwich.
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.
