Fried Clams With Gaahlicky Blue Cheese Dip

  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings
[1]

Ingredients

  • 3 quarts vegetable oil
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon Essence [2]
  • 3 dozen soft-shelled clams, such as Ipswich, shelled and cleaned
  • 10 lemon wedges
  • Gaahlicky Blue Cheese Dip [3]

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat to 360 degrees F.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal and Essence. Add the clams and toss to coat evenly, shaking to remove any excess.
