PANKO-BREADED FRIED RAZOR CLAMS
I grew up on the West Coast where these tasty little treats are found. You can vary the amount of ingredients used in the recipe according to the number of clams you have, but be sure to use real Parmesan cheese and only panko crumbs, not regular bread crumbs. Pound the necks with a meat tenderizer, or deep fry them, if desired. These are delicious!!!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold clams in a single layer with foil. Use a paring knife to gently pry apart the clamshells and then cut the meat away, discarding any gritty dark parts and a half-inch of the dark, hard siphon. Place clam meat in the better-looking shell half.
- Pour oil into 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until softened. Add parsley, sauté briefly, then stir in bread crumbs. Sauté, stirring, until bread crumbs are uniformly moistened with oil and starting to color. Season generously with pepper. Remove from heat.
- Using a teaspoon, cover each clam with bread crumb mixture, patting it on with the back of the spoon. Do this over the skillet so that any crumbs that fall go back into the pan and are used. Place clams on baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges.
