Geoduck Fritters

Geoduck Fritters

3 eggs

1 cup flour

3 tbsp corn meal

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp minced onion

2 tbsp minced parsley

2 tbsp melted butter

1 ½ cup chopped or ground geoduck meat

Beat the eggs until light and lemon colored.  Stir in the rest of the ingredients except the clams and mix until lumps are gone.  Thin out with a little water or clam juice until a pancake type consistency.  Mix in the geoduck and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Melt a couple tbsp of butter and oil (oil will prevent burning) in large skillet.  Drop the batter by spoonfuls into hot butter making small pancakes and fry on each side until golden brown.  Finish with salt.  Can serve plain or with tarter, cocktail sauce, or lemon wedges.
