Clams are a type of bivalve mollusc, seafood of the shellfish variety. Although clams are eaten, not everything that is called a clam is actually edible. There are different varieties of clam which are eaten in many different countries around the world.
In North America, the name "clam" is normally reserved to describe the Hard Clam. This is a clam species that is found on the eastern coast of the continent.
A popular way of serving hard clams is raw and on an open half shell, but this is not the only way. In this case, the clams are cooked by deep frying them. They would first be removed from their shells and coated in beaten eggs. Following this, the clam would then be dipped in some sort of seasoned mixture, such as batter or breadcrumbs, and then fried.
