Ingredients

  • 8 oz clam strips
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 whole sandwich bun
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 slice cheese slice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 8 oz clam strips dry with paper towels. Set up a dredging station: 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, 1 beaten egg in another.

  2. 2

    Heat 0.5 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle.

  3. 3

    Dredge the clam strips in the flour, then the egg, letting excess drip off. Fry in a single layer until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Toast the sandwich bun in the skillet or toaster until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom half.

  5. 5

    Pile the fried clams on the bun, top with 1 cheese slice, and close with the top bun. Serve hot.
