Clam Fritters a Simple Holiday Treat!
12/21/2023

 Sharing a simple but delicious addition to your holiday table.  Sean Hart, chef and owner of our very own Exmore Diner and Salt & Sand Family Restaurant passes along this recipe enjoyed by so many from A South You Never Ate, our Oct. 28 event that celebrated the foodways of the Eastern Shore.

 

Clam Fritters

1 pint chopped Seaside clams

1 large egg

4oz. finely chopped onions

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 squirts yellow mustard

 

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Be careful not to overmix.

 

Over medium heat, melt butter(margarine will work) in a frying pan.

 

Spoon mixture into the pan and cook about 5 to 8 minutes until you see the fritter begin to rise. When tiny air pockets form, flip, cooking another 3 to 5 minutes.

 

Remove and place fritters on a paper towel. These are best served on plain white bread with a touch of mustard.
