About New england fried clams

New England Fried Clams are a classic dish hailing from the Northeastern United States, particularly beloved in coastal areas. They typically feature whole-belly soft-shell clams that are dipped in milk or buttermilk, coated in a seasoned flour or cornmeal mixture, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. This seafood favorite is known for its briny, slightly sweet flavor and crunchy exterior. While fried clams are rich in protein and a good source of essential minerals like selenium and zinc, their deep-fried preparation can add significant amounts of fat and calories. Served with traditional sides like tartar sauce and French fries, it's a flavorful indulgence best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Opting for baked or steamed clams can provide a healthier alternative while still offering the delicious taste of fresh New England seafood.
