If any of you folks are down in RI during the summer, make sure you try some clamcakes. My favorite place is Evelyn's in Tiverton, but there are many other places. Next time up there I'll try the ones at Pops, although I gotta say the Maine clamcake does not sound like the ones we have down here.

You are right, Maine clamcakes are quite different from the "real clamcakes" in RI. After several trips to Maine I have to say most of the Maine versions I have had are pretty good.

I'll stick with my favorite, Conch Fritters. Give me Conch fritters and a grilled dolphin anyday.

As a part time resident of Baltimore (, hon), I can tell you that I've looked long and hard; it's close, but the best crab cakes are NOT in in Maryland (, hon). You gotta go to the Cape for that...

They use too much Ol' Bay downy'ear in Balmer, hon.

I've been a resident of RI for over 40 years. I freely admit I'm NOT a native. Clam Cakes in a seafood restaurant in this state is ......Iffy. We call them Fried Dough Balls. YES they are tasty when you're hungry..but finding a clam cake with a small fragment of a clam in it is...well lucky.

I base my opinion on THE Place in Rhode Island for Seafood...Georges in Point Judith.

Evelyn's (Summer only) in Tiverton may be another story. They are equally famous as Georges. Never heard anything negative about them...but have never been there even though they are only 10 minutes away. Cholesterol:

Maybe Georges in the winter is different than "In Season". Winter is the only season we have gone there.

RI Clam Cakes: Fried Dough Balls. Just sayin.
