Clam Cake Recipe

My mother was just diagnosed with celiac disease a few weeks ago and is just starting to learn about the disease. She has a terrible craving for clam cakes and has tried to make them with different flours she can have and they haven't tasted all that great. To be honest, they were horrible. I was just wondering if anyone out there has a recipe for clam cakes. This is a Rhode Island tradition around here so I really hope someone can help us.

Thanks,

Lauri

Can you give us a clue as to what goes into these clam cakes?

Is it like crab cakes where you use bread crumbs? If so, just

use gluten free bread and I always use these crumbs along with

corn meal to bread the crab cakes.

From a fellow celiac that seriously missed some down-home Rhode Island love...I don't know if you already found a recipe, but these have come out perfect for me, I can't even tell the difference from the real thing (and neither can my non-gluten-free friends!) Recipe for summer happiness:

Rhode Island Style CLAM CAKES (gluten free!)

1 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour/starch

1/2 cup corn starch

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup milk

3/4 cup clam juice

1 cup minced clams

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir in clams. If batter is too thick, add milk. Drop into hot oil (375) by the tablespoon, they usually flip themselves. Remove from oil and drop on paper towels. Salt. Enjoy!

I have never had clam cakes but from the deep south have had many fish patties and crab patties. I am hoping that this recipe will help you.

We make these with seasonings (onions, bell peppers, shallots) one raw egg, potato flakes, salt, pepper and cooked crab meat or boiled fish. Mix well and shape into patties and coat outside with corn flour or rice flour. (I have an older friend who makes crab patties for me if I bring her the gluten free rice flour.)

I made these for some gluten-intolerant guests yesterday, and they were great. The batter was a bit thin, so I thickened it with some commercial gluten-free flour blend (otherwise I would have used more of the rice flour).

Outstanding! Thanks for the recipe!

[i may yet try to convert my grandmother's recipe, which calls for an egg but it's hard enough to follow with "a heaping teaspoon of this" and "a scoop of that"!]

I really ought to post my gluten-free brown bread recipe, which was a perfect addition.

Leira - I actually tend to use just a 1/2 cup of clam juice, and then adjust with flour (As you did) or more clam juice as necessary. Boy, do they hit the spot! :)

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
