Yield: 4 servings
- 24 Little Neck clams
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper

Half shell the clams and set them aside. In a small bowl, mix the flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
In a large pan over high heat, render the bacon fat. Sprinkle a generous coating of the flour mixture over all the clams and, using a spoon, carefully place them flesh-side down into the fat.
