About this dish

Fried clams are clams dipped in milk, floured, and deep-fried. Fried clams are an iconic food, "to New England, what barbecue is to the South". They tend to be served at seaside clam shacks (roadside restaurants). Clam rolls are fried clams served in a New England–style hot dog bun. They are usually served with Tartar sauce. Clam strips are the sliced foot of the Atlantic surf clam, served breaded and deep-fried similarly to whole fried clams. Sold frozen and sometime pre-breaded from commercial fisheries, clam strips are more common on menus outside New England.
