Food make try..New England Clam Cakes

I had them in Rhode Island at a place called Flo's and really liked them.
My try was somewhat of a fail. They were a bland and not round. 
The batter was a little thin and I ran out of flour to thicken them.
I'll try again with another recipe and get it right next time. 
Practice and time is all it takes. 
Never give up.
