Soft Clams Fried, Garnished with Fried Parsley

Lucines Papillons Frites Garnies au Persil Frit

Drain some medium sized soft clams; immerse them in milk, drain them once more, then roll them in flour and fry. After being rolled in the flour, they may be dipped in beaten eggs, then in bread-crumbs and fried until a fine color is assumed; dress them on a napkin, garnishing with fried parsley.
