In a chilled bowl, mix the milk, clam sauce, beer, agave, and chopped fresh clams, keeping everything nice and cold. Mix in the dry ingredients. Use an ice cream scoop, or just a spoon, to scoop approx 2.5 tablespoon sized globs of dough into the hot oil. Fry at 350 for about 4-5 minutes.

I don't remember a dipping sauce, and I personally don't think it needs one, but I mixed some mayo, sriracha, and pickle juice together and it worked great for my friends.

*I needed to add liquid to the batter and didn't want to use water. Many recipes I saw used either a clam or seafood broth, but at the last minute I decided to try a canned clam sauce I found in the stock and broth section at my grocery store. It was a sort of upscale brand with a clean ingredients label and it ended up working great.
