Steps:
- Open the clams, and save both the juice and the clams. There should be about 2 cups of liquid and about 1 1/4 cups of clams. Put the clams on a flat surface and chop them until they are coarse-fine.
- Shuck the corn, and cut the kernels from the cob. There should be about 1 cup.
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl, and add the chopped clams, 3/4 cup of the reserved clam liquid (the rest may be discarded or put to another use), corn, egg yolks, tarragon, baking powder, salt, pepper and Tabasco.
- Blend well.
- Beat the whites until stiff, pour them over the batter, and fold them in.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet, and when it is quite hot, add about 1/4 cup of the batter at a time, keeping each fritter separated. Continue adding batter in this manner until the skillet is filled without crowding.
- Cook about 1 minute or slightly longer on one side or until the edges of the fritters start to brown. Turn and cook 1 minute or slightly longer on the other side. As the fritters are cooked, transfer them to sheets of absorbent paper towels. Continue making fritters until all the batter is used.
- Use about 2 additional tablespoons of oil for each batch of fritters. Serve the fritters with sweet red pepper sauce spooned over.

Tips:
- To ensure the freshest and most flavorful fritters, use fresh cherrystone clams and sweet corn. If using frozen clams, thaw them completely before using.
- To easily remove the corn kernels from the cob, use a sharp knife to cut them off.
- Be sure to drain the clams and corn well before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.
- For a crispy exterior and a tender interior, fry the fritters in hot oil until they are golden brown.
- Serve the fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or cocktail sauce.
