Fried Clams with Tartar Dipping Sauce
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 30 min (includes marinating time)
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fried Clams:

One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon your favorite hot sauce or to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen shucked Ipswich or steamer clams
1 cup corn flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Neutral oil for frying, like canola oil

Tartar Sauce:

1 cup store-bought horseradish sauce
1/4 cup minced dill
1/4 cup sweet relish
1/2 medium red onion, grated on large holes of a box grater
Juice of 1 lemon
Hot sauce to taste
1 lemon cut into wedges

Directions

Special equipment: a grill; a deep-fry thermometer

For the fried clams: In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add the clams. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for up to an hour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the corn flour, garlic powder and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

For the tartar sauce: In another medium bowl, whisk together the horseradish sauce, dill, sweet relish, red onion, lemon juice and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.

Pour 4 inches of neutral oil into a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven placed over the hot side of the grill. Allow the oil temperature to reach 350 to 360 degrees F.

Pull the clams out of the evaporated milk, allowing excess liquid to drain off. Add to the seasoned corn flour and toss to coat. In two batches, drop the breaded clams into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining clams. Serve with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

  1. dang, I just learned two great cooking tips in this video.. 1. Use the cheese grater for dicing onions and 2. Deep Fry outside on your charcoal grill (all the grease, smell and mess is outside)

  2. Oh Thank you Michael. No one has EVER taught me how to Cook or even open a CLAM. They were always cooked for me. But watching this video I really am going to try. If not I’m going to go to a restaurant & have them make them for me, my granddaughter I will always ask you, Lizy as well as Emmy to met us for a Yummy Dinner ????????????????????????

  3. Agreed, the best way to remove "that part" of the clam is physically. Mentally or otherwise is not nearly as effective. Professional Adult, 2023. Awesome.

  4. Michael I don't watch the food Network much anymore just because I like to stream stuff and I watch YouTube chefs I'm so glad to see you on you look amazing by the way, I love the beard and I am definitely not a person who likes beards but you really rock it!

  5. Yum! We have a fish fry place by me that has fresh ones. I learned to eat Fried Clam strips at Howard Johnson's!

  6. Love your show on Saturday watch every week I have it on my DVR then I'll never miss a episode. ????❤????❤????

  7. Wish you would answer comments…why evaporated milk and not regular milk?

  8. I’m not a seafood guy, but since I was a youngun fried clams have been my favorite food to eat with Cocktail Sauce after a great surf day at the beach!

  9. Michael Simon is the man!!!! I’ve always admired him since the show The Chew on ABC!!! Ima enjoy this recipe. Thank youuu!!!

  10. I feel canola is the best neutral oil. It's a great inexpensive oil with no flavor. So the food your cooking comes through really nice. Have a great day ????.
