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
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
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
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
Toast the sandwich bun in the skillet or toaster until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom half.
- 5
Pile the fried clams on the bun, top with 1 cheese slice, and close with the top bun. Serve hot.
