An original Rocky Point clam cakes recipe. These chewy clam cakes are a throwback to the old Rocky Point Amusement Park, another Rhode Island favorite.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
½ cup clam juice
4 tablespoons whole milk
6 ounces chopped clams or quahogs (with juice)
Oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Drain clams and reserve juice. Make sure clam juice equals 1/2 cup. Add juice, if needed.
  • In a medium bowl mix egg, clam juice, and milk. Stir in clams. Add dry ingredients, a little at a time, stirring well until the mixture is well blended.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot peanut oil. Batter will be moist. Test the oil first by dropping a small amount in the oil about the size of a dime. If it sizzles rapidly, then it's hot enough to fry the clam cakes. Fry until brown. Drain on paper towels.
