    Don't drain excess oil on paper towels. That tends to steam the clams and you loose some crispness. Use brown paper instead. Lunch bags will do.

    I’ve watched this vid many times when I miss my fried clam bellies. My fave food, even more than steak, oysters, sushi or truffles. I can only get small bellies in Bigelows here in Long Island NY. Thanks capt John for the shucking technique. I will have to shuck my own 😢 but you make it look easy. Or I can drive to Connecticut for the closest good clams at Westfair Fish. They do get large juicy bellies there. Anyway they are very expensive everywhere so I will get good at shucking. Thanks also for your clam digging vid. It show why the clams are expensive. You are impressively strong dude 💪

    But wait, as a novice here, are the clams raw before you cook them? If so, so how do you get them out of the shell first?

    Never used egg, just milk. Into fish-chic? Maybe RI thing? I'd eat those anyway lmao. But fried clams are actually a new England thing. Had in every state and ate them lmao. Mmm as soon as belly cooked done👍
    Egg makes difference thanks

    I’m a New Englander living in Utah. No mud flats around here. Any idea where I can order already shucked frying clams from for delivery? Thanks

    Everything went great until the ending when he ate them with ketchup wtf man. Ruined them. Killed the taste of the clam. I mean at least tartar sauce
