Hi Bob, I made the clam cakes and they came out really good. James loved them! I have no point of reference since I never had them before. I expected them to taste stronger of clam, but perhaps just the hint of clam flavor is the way they are supposed to be. :)

Yikes! I nearly missed this post. Sounds good! As to the clam flavor, it is hard to say. Perhaps using clam juice instead of water in the batter mix would help. Also, in Rhode Island they use a small somewhat local clam called a 'cherrystone' [if memory serves], while the canned clam is usually a qua-hog.

Well, all this from a land-lubber might not be worth a whole bunch. ;-)
