6 razor clams
2 cup buttermilk (this is the secret for lovely, tender razor clams)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fresh toasted bread crumbs
1/2 cup uncooked polenta (corn grits)
1/2 cup cornmeal
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Tartar sauce

Preparation Instructions

1. Sprinkle the neck of the razor clams with meat tenderizer and pound with a meat mallet 4 or 5 times.
2. In a flat dish, stir together the buttermilk, salt and pepper. Lay the clams in the buttermilk and refrigerate for several hours.
3. In a flat dish, stir together the flour, bread crumbs, polenta and cornmeal. Lift the clams out of the buttermilk and let excess milk drain off. Dredge the clams in the flour mixture and lay on a wire rack to dry for a few minutes.
4. Preheat the oil in a deep pot or wok to 375 degrees F. When the oil is hot, fry the clams, 2 at a time, for 1 minute. Lift from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let oil reheat for a minute or 2 before adding more clams. Serve hot with tartar sauce.

Found this recipe in Irish Food & Cooking by Biddy White Lennon and Georgina Campbell. A good source for modernized traditional Irish "receipts", as my Gran used to call them. The authors write that the unusual name might come from the fact the lawyers are the only ones who can afford this, ha ha. Haven’t tried it yet, but sounds so good as an alternative St. Pat’s Day Dinner, like when it falls on a meatless Friday! Somehow this doesn’t sound like a Lenten meal, though! Perhaps using imitation lobster and the sauce, served over rice or pasta, is another option. If anyone tries this, please post a review. — posted by Cinnamom (Chef #431027)

Kalamari are one of the most populous of seafoods, and the Mediterranean and its inlet seas teem with their own variety. Greeks today have added a splash of lemon, they honor the forefathers with a treatment that echoes time: Batter them lightly, cook them quickly, serve them fresh, and add to them only a dash of brightener, for why alter a taste so delicate? Here lemon zest is added to the batter, complemented by a touch of parsley. -- posted by Olga Drozd
