For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the batter. Ensure the clams are well-drained to prevent soggy fritters. These fritters are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy. Consider serving with a lemon wedge or tartar sauce. To keep the fritters warm while frying in batches, place the cooked fritters on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°F.
