Catherine: We got whole belly "fryer" clams from the fish market. DH says he dipped them in milk, then dredged them in flour. He then fried them in vegetable oil in a frying pan. He said the one annoyance was that he could only fry a few clams at a time, since we don't have a deep fryer. So I had to be there at the ready to eat them as they came out of the pan fresh and hot, lol, such a hardship.
