Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 8 oz clam strips dry with paper towels. Set up a dredging station: 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, 1 beaten egg in another.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.5 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle.

  3. Step 3

    Dredge the clam strips in the flour, then the egg, letting excess drip off. Fry in a single layer until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the sandwich bun in the skillet or toaster until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom half.

  5. Step 5

    Pile the fried clams on the bun, top with 1 cheese slice, and close with the top bun. Serve hot.
