National Fried Clam Day is celebrated on July 3 every year throughout the United States of America.
All the American fast food and clam lovers celebrate this day wholeheartedly by indulging in different clam recipes.
Woodman submitted the registration for this day in May 2015. However, fried clams were prepared for the first time in 1916, on Main Street in Essex.
Lawrence Henry Woodman started National Fried Clam Day.
Some interesting facts on National Fried Clam Day are jotted down below, for your easy understanding of the importance of this day.
The popular tradition on Fried Clam Day is eating fried clams with tartar sauce. Many people visit the fine restaurant of Chubby Woodman in New England, Massachusetts. Since the following day is Independence Day in America, people go for trips in New England and explore fried clams from a wide array of restaurants.
Some food lovers also find the chef in themselves and hit the kitchen to make juicy fried clams. You can make a simple batter with a quarter cup of water, half cup of milk, and a half cup of flour, egg white, and a pinch of salt, in which you fry the soft shell clam. Many people remove the clam's neck before they pour oil into the pan.
The best way to celebrate this day is by indulging in loads of fried clams from different food joints. You can also get a taste of this recipe from a local fisherman if you can find one who is an expert at frying clams.
Another way of celebrating this day is by visiting New England, which is known for its history of fried clams. New England also bears the birthplace of fried clams, which is the Woodman of Essex. This is the original fried clam joint opened by Chubby Woodman. This iconic food can also be tried at home. You can make deep-fried clams from soft shell clams or hard shell clams, boiling them first.
Excessive consumption of fried clam strips is not good for health because they contain more than 0.9 oz (26 g) of fat and 500 calories.
If you deep fry clams, this makes them unhealthy to eat because of the excessive oil that can cause weight gain.
Although there aren't any assumptions necessary to take while celebrating this day, one thing we must keep in mind is that clams if not properly cooked can be harmful to your health due to the presence of innumerable bacteria in these kinds of seafood.
Lawrence Henry Woodman created this day in the year 1916.
On this day, you can eat coated clams without any guilt. You can also get popular fried clams in several restaurants and food joints.
This day is an excuse for all fast-food lovers to indulge in unlimited fried clams.
