Fritters & Nuggets

[T-Man]

My 2 sons convinced me to get out the deep fryer yesterday after we got some stripers in the morning. So I made up a batch of striper nuggets and clam fritters.
Thought I'd share the recipes.... they are simple.

2 tbls baking powder
1/2 tea baking soda

Crazy Joe made some at our outing this weekend. They were awesome, I have never had them like that before. I usually just grill my fillets with marinades ect.
