RHODE ISLAND CLAM CAKES

This recipe is best made with freshly ground clams, although it would still be good with finely chopped clams. Canned would be OK, and better to make it with canned than not at all, but please, please, please make this at least once with fresh clams. You will not be sorry. Use cake flour if you can get it; it will make a lighter, fluffier cake. All-purpose is fine if you can't find cake flour. Use a "regular" beer, not a fancy one. Think Budweiser. Be sure to keep your oil as close to 350°F as you can. The cakes will come out greasy if your oil gets too cool. Fry in batches to prevent this.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 recipe for remoulade
Canola or other vegetable oil for frying
3 beaten eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup clam broth
1/2 cup cold beer
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 1/2 cups chopped or ground clams
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 1/2 cups cake flour, (or all-purpose flour)

Steps:

  • Make the remoulade first and set aside. Heat the oil to 350°F.
  • Mix all the liquid ingredients together except the beer. Mix all the dry ingredients together. When your oil is hot, add the beer to the liquid ingredients and mix gently. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined.
  • Drop a tablespoon of batter into the hot oil at a time. Do not crowd the pot. Let them sizzle for 30 seconds or so, then dislodge any that are stuck to the bottom with a chopstick or wooden skewer. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve while hot with the remoulade, Tabasco or tartar sauce. And beer. Lots of beer.

ROCKY POINT AMUSEMENT PARK'S CLAM CHOWDER RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Rocky Point Amusement Park's Clam Chowder Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by Floridaberry

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound ground or finely-diced salt pork
1 pound onions
1 gallon clam juice
1 pound potatoes diced
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups canned tomato puree
1 1/2 quarts chopped quahogs (large hard-shell clams)
Water as needed
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Pilot crackers crumbled

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven, heat the salt pork until the fat melts. Add the onions. Cook over gentle heat until very soft. Add the clam juice, potatoes, seasonings, tomato puree and a little water. Simmer until the potatoes are soft, then add the quahogs. Heat and taste for seasoning. Add water if needed. It is best to use old, not new, potatoes, because they thicken the chowder with their starch. Crush some pilot crackers and stir them into the chowder to thicken it further, near the end of the cooking. Happy Eating. This recipe makes about 20 (8-oz) servings. The main item on the menu was Rocky Point Clam Chowder which was prepared according to the shore dinner hall's owner's well kept secret recipe. The diners were seated at both sides of very long tables as they arrived, usually in groups (there was no preferential seating) and the hot chowder was brought in in large metal pots and placed on the tables about six feet apart -- about 50 pots to each table. The chowder was served with hot "Rocky Point Clam Cakes" (see recipe), sweet corn and watermelon. Beer and soft drinks were available for purchase nearby. Unfortunately, the shore dinner hall and the rest of the amusement park were totally destroyed in the hurricane of September 1938. No attempt was made to rebuild the park and the shore dinner hall until after World War II, and it reopened for business in 1946. Tragedy struck again when the new park and shore dinner hall were destroyed by another hurricane in 1954. Again the amusement park and shore dinner hall were rebuilt. However, the park and the shore dinner hall were closed down for good a few years ago (1996) and they are now just a memory. But the famous Rocky Point Clam Chowder and Rocky Point Clam Cakes are still available from Rocky Point Chowder House, 1759 Post Rd, Warwick, RI (401-739-4222).

ROCKY POINT CLAM CHOWDER



Rocky Point Clam Chowder image

This is a tradition in Rhode Island! When I was growing up there was an amusement park on the shore called "Rocky Point". It had a huge Shore Dinner Hall that served a meal of lobster, chowder, clamcakes, sweet corn and watermelon. This is the original recipe for the red chowder. It makes 20-8 ounce servings so you may want to cut the recipe in half. Serve with my clam cake recipe. Close your eyes, take a bite and you are in Rhode Island!

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb salt pork, chopped into small pieces
1 lb onion, chopped
1 gallon clam juice
1 lb potato, diced
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups canned tomato puree
1 1/2 quarts chopped quahogs or 1 1/2 quarts clams
water, as needed
salt & pepper
Old Bay Seasoning
pilot cracker

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, heat the salt pork until fat melts.
  • Add chopped onions; Cook over gentle heat until very soft.
  • Add clam juice, potatoes, seasonings, tomato puree, and alittle water; simmer until the potatoes are soft.
  • Add quahogs/clams.
  • Heat and taste for seasoning.
  • TIP: It is best to use old, not new, potatoes because they thicken the chowder with their starch.
  • This is not a thick chowder, but can be thickened by crushing Pilot crackers and adding to the chowder near the end of cooking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your clam cakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the clams finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cake.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the cakes tough.
  • Fry the cakes in hot oil. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or malt vinegar are all good options.

Conclusion:

Clam cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make clam cakes that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and affordable seafood dish, give clam cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
