Razor Clams

Time to vent. I found out today (thank you so much for your help Kathy) that my blog has been the victim of many blog scrapers. Not only are they taking my entire posts, recipes and photos but they are not giving me credit or a link back to my site. They are using my recipes as their own to make money. It's not just a couple of recipes but at least four different sites have nearly EVERY single recipe and photo that I have ever posted. It's discouraging, frustrating and hurtful that they would try to get credit for my recipes and photos. I love this food blog very much and I work hard to maintain it. It's upsetting to me that people would do this just to make money. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from happening? Now, on with the recipe...

One of my very favorite meals is fried razor clams. I don't eat them often because they aren't very healthy but when I do eat them, I savor every last bite. Our dear friend Jake recently went clamming on the Oregon coast and he surprised me with a bag full of these tasty morsels. I was so excited to fry them up! I thought I would be really good and just cook them in olive oil, but halfway through cooking I realized it just wouldn't do, so I added a bit of butter and I am so glad I did. They turned out crispy and delicious. My entire family, including my two kids, LOVED them. I made two sauces for dipping that turned out delicious. My sister, Dana makes an incredibly delicious cocktail sauce that's really easy to make because it only has two ingredients - ketchup and wasabi. I also made homemade tarter sauce with fresh dill and lemon. I served this dinner with rice and Green Beans with Feta and Dill. It was a wonderful meal that satisfied all of us. Thank you for sharing your delicious razor clams Jake - we loved them!
