For a richer flavor, try using clarified butter instead of vegetable oil for frying. Be sure the clams are very dry before breading to help the coating adhere properly. Freezing the breaded clams is essential for preventing the coating from falling off during frying. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or aioli.
