This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small amount of commision from qualifying purchases.The inspiration for these fried pork strips stems from my love for New England fried clam strips. They are one of my go to items at any seafood joint. I love biting into the crispy crunchy batter and the slightly chewy clam strip inside. If you’re not a New Englander but plan to visit someday, put clam strips on your must try list.Having said that, I know people who don’t share my love of the seafood dish. I wanted to create another option for them.From that, fried pork strips were born and they are so good!!Instead of clams, thin strips of pork are coated in a flour and cornmeal coating and deep fried. While the clam version is served with tartar sauce, this pork version is served with spiced up honey mustard dipping sauce.What’s in the dipping sauce?Because of the mild flavor of pork, I benefits from a flavorful condiment. The dipping sauce is sweet from a combination of store bought honey mustard dressing, agave, and honey. It has good heat and a little tang from buffalo ...
