For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the cracker mixture. Ensure the razor clams are thoroughly dried before coating to help the cracker mixture adhere better. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crackers or breadcrumbs instead of saltines. To prevent the oil from cooling down too much, fry the clams in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
