Catch & Cook Razor Clam Fritters

we're out digging for razor clams on the coast today um they're super abundant we're really lucky to live in a state where we have such delicious uh sea resources to go out and harvest and this is you know super easy to do so we got a lot of razor clams and i'm going to show you how to make these delicious clam fritters once we uh go show you how to dig them ah yes all right first claim of the day oh i see him here we go another clam uh [Music] i got him my gosh the ones up higher on shore so deep down oh my gosh success so we're just gonna use five of these clams and we're gonna put them in uh boiling water just to blanch for 20 or 30 seconds you don't want to cook them we just want the shells to open up so [Music] and then we're gonna put them in cold water to stop the cooking so to clean our razor clams we're just gonna slide them out of the shell discard that and i like to use scissors i feel like that's the easiest way to do this and so you're going to cut through here and then when you cut through the neck there are going to be two uh places where you need to cut so that first one and then you're going to need to cut through right here as well [Music] there and then you don't want to eat any of the the guts in there so i like to just cut around [Music] you can eat the foot you don't want to eat this part but you can eat part of the foot and we'll just clean all of that out and then i like to cut the tip of the siphon off where it's colored there you don't want to eat that part so we're just going to rinse off our our clam fillet there and do a few more and mince them up [Music] the tips of the siphons on the clam necks are really great perch bait so if you're already at the beach might as well bring a surf rod and use these for surf perch we're just gonna rinse our clams real good get any remaining salt off of them and then we'll probably do one more rinse after this [Music] [Music] so this is five razor clams and we're just gonna mince them up gonna mince up two green onions okay two slices of bacon [Applause] okay so we've got our egg so [Music] so so want the oil around 375 degrees [Music] [Applause] okay mondo you
