Prepare the Tartar Sauce: In a small bowl, combine all Tartar Sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, whisk together all Breading ingredients.
Dredge the Clam Strips: Dredge the frozen clam strips in the breading mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry the Clam Strips: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the clam strips in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Toast the Rolls: Lightly toast the hot dog rolls.
Assemble the Rolls: Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on each roll. Fill with fried clam strips and serve immediately.
