    Mine came out a bit soggy, not sure what went wrong. 🤔

    I followed the recipe but they didn’t turn out right. I think I added too much clam juice. Anyone else have this problem?

    1. 4 stars
      I think clam juice can be tricky, I added too much once too and they were too salty. Maybe try reducing it next time!

  5. 4 stars
    Great recipe! But I think you need more flour, right? They were a bit too gooey.

    Not what I expected. I mean, clams in a cake? Kinda weird, but gave it a shot. Not terrible, but not my fave. 2 stars.

      Ew, clams in a cake? That sounds gross! Cake is for sweets, not seafood! 1 star for this madness.

      Clam juice?? Really? I ain’t sure about that. Sounds kinda gross to me. 🤔

    How can you even call this a recipe? All you do is mix stuff! Not impressed.

    🤢 These were awful. I don’t know who would want to eat this.

    Not what I expected… they were kinda mushy. Shoulda added more flour!

    I followed the recipe but it turned out too salty. Maybe cut back on the clam juice?

      Eww, that sounds gross. How can you put clams in a cake? That’s just wrong.

      I thought the same at first, but they’re actually really delicious! Give it a try.

    Really easy to make, but missing some flavor. What can I add to make it better?

  19. User avatar jaquelyn.batz29 says:

    I thought this recipe would be better… but it was kinda bland. Add more spices next time.

    How do you even get clams? I only see them canned in the store. Can you use shrimp instead?

  21. 4 stars
    Pretty good for a quick recipe. I added some spices and made it more interesting.

    I don’t think these are authentic clam cakes. My grandma used way more ingredients. Disappointed.

    So easy to make and my kids actually ate them! Who knew?

  24. 4 stars
    Super simple! My kids loved them although they thought they were cookies at first haha!

    Yummy but too salty. Maybe I added too much clam juice? Not sure if I’d try again.

    1. User avatar jame.kessler says:

      Too salty? That’s surprising. I thought the clam flavor was great! But yeah, can’t hurt to tweak the ingredients.

    2. User avatar norberto.gottlieb says:

      I totally get it! Clam juice can be really salty. Maybe try using a little less next time. Hope you give it another shot!

    When you say clams, I think of the ocean! My grandma used to make something similar but with more ingredients.

    Clams? Seriously? 🤮

    Can I substitute something for the clams? I’m not a fan of seafood. Maybe chicken?

    1. User avatar gordon.welch1953 says:

      2 stars
      Not really! Clams give it that unique flavor. You might not like it with chicken, trust me.

    2. 3 stars
      Chicken would totally change the dish! It’s a clam cake after all. Maybe try veggies instead?
