Talk:Fried clams

message: I wish someone would write an article about how deep-fry cooks in restaurants can cook enormous batches of things like fried clams or battered shrimp without:
:1.) having them all stick together, either in the batter bowl, or in the oil itself, or both
:2.) having them stick to your fingers
:3.) and how to do the above two things quickly -- I can do the damn things individually using chopstocks etc., but I can't get very many into the oil very quickly.
There has to be a technique that I don't know -- and I'm a *very* experienced cook.  Otherwise, how could a single guy in a roadside clamshack in deepest Maine, for instance, turn out order after order of fried clams while also taking care of other aspects of the business?
Or does everyone just buy frozen, pre-battered ones these days, that they just dump directly from the package into the oil?

message: They are called " belly clams", not "clams with bellies" , at least they are at every shack I've eaten at over the past 55 years. Also, not one to quibble, but a "soft shelled clam" (?) is a dead clam. A soft shelled clam (if one exists) has been made so by a hammer. I think you  are confusing clams with crabs.Gimelgort (talk) 14:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
