The celebration of National Deep-Fried Clams Day is organized in the USA to appreciate this delicacy.
National Deep Fried Clams Day is a day observed in the United States by food lovers and seafood fans across the nation.
The origins of National Deep Fried Clams Day are unknown.
Fried clams were invented by Lawrence Henry 'Chubby' Woodman, who first created deep-fried clams on July 3, 1916, along with his wife, Bessie. On July 4, on U.S. Independence Day, fried clams were made for the residents of Essex during a parade. Nowadays, these tasty soft shell clams and hard shell clams can be found deep-fried!
The history of clams is fascinating. In 1917, the chain of restaurants by Howard Johnson was ready to serve delicious fried clams. He learned the recipe from Mr. Lawrence Chubby. They began to be cherished by east coast regions!
It is customary to eat deep-fried clams. To make clam strips, you should batter and bread them. Also, as a modern way to celebrate, post a picture with deep-fried clams with the hashtag #DeepFriedClamsDay on social media.
The best way to celebrate National Deep Fried Clams Day is by making and eating some deep-fried clams. You can even try some new exciting recipes of soft-shelled clams or even experiment with dips or tartar sauce. Pay a visit to your favorite seafood restaurant and celebrate with friends and family.
A 3 oz (85 gm) portion of fried clams contains 270 calories, half of which is complete fat. So, yes, it is unhealthy. You can opt for cooked clams instead.
No, avoid deep frying clams and instead cook them. Cooked clams are one of the best sources of Vitamin B12, which studies suggest is vital for a healthy nervous system.
Lawrence Woodman from Essex, Massachusetts, is said to have created the first deep-fried clams on July 3, 1916, in his small roadside restaurant.
National Deep-Fried Clams Day is observed annually on November 1, though it is unknown why it is not observed on July 3, when the first deep-fried clams were made.
Clam Chowder Day, observed on February 25, honors clam chowder, which is a soup containing clams or fish, whereas National Deep-Fried Clams Day commemorates deep-fried clams.
