About Fried clam

Fried clams are a quintessential dish rooted in American coastal cuisine, particularly popular in New England. This indulgent treat typically consists of fresh clams, often whole-belly, dipped in a seasoned batter or dry breadcrumb coating and deep-fried to a golden crisp. The dish showcases the natural brininess of clams while adding a crunchy texture loved by seafood enthusiasts. Fried clams are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and iron, which support heart health and energy production. However, the deep-frying process increases calorie and fat content, especially saturated fats, making moderation key for those watching their diet. Served as a main dish or alongside tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and fries, fried clams embody comfort food with a seaside flair.
