One day while making fried clams I realized I was out of flour. It was to late to go to the store so I improvised and used Aunt Jemima pancake mix. The box kind that is dry. The rest is history. Now, I sometimes use pancake mix when making fried fish as well. The clams came out tender and delicious. Enjoy

These fried clams were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I've never had fried clams before, but these were amazing! The coating was crispy and the clams were tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fried clams were just okay. The coating was a bit too thick and the clams were a little dry.

These fried clams were absolutely delicious! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the clams were tender and juicy. I served them with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, and they were a hit with my family.
