- Drain clams well, reserving 1/2 cup of clam broth liquid. Put together all ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls into medium hot oil in a deep fryer or possibly heavy frying pan.Oil which is too hot or possibly cakes that are too large will cause burning or possibly uncooked centers. Adjust temperature up or possibly down slightly to compensate. A good starting temperature is 360 degrees.
- The clam cakes will float; turn them over gently as they rise to fully cook both sides. Don't overload the cooker, as this will reduce heat too much. Fry only a couple at a time.
- Drain on paper towels. Serve with tartar sauce or possibly Portuguese hot sauce, or possibly just garnish with slices of lemon and a couple sprigs of fresh parsley or possibly kale. These are best while still warm, but can be served at room temperature as well.
- These are an old New England favorite and have been served at Cape Cod clam shacks and Rhode Island sea-side diners for generations.
- Great for Summer picnics and cookouts!
