    Pacific razor clams and Atlantic razor clams are two different types of shells. The Atlantic species is long and oblong, resembling a straight razor, while the Pacific razor clams are rounder and shorter. If you look for them on the menu of a high-end restaurant, you'll often find them when they're in season.

    Ingredients

    • 5 razor clams shells; scrubbed under cold water
    • 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
    • 1 fresh lemongrass stick peeled and finely chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
    • 1/2 inch fresh ginger root peeled and grated
    • 1 teaspoon lime juice
    • 1 pinch dried chilli flakes
    • 1 spring onion finely chopped
    • 1-2 tablespoons fresh coriander finely chopped

    Method

    • To make Tuna Fish Cakes, start by draining the canned tuna. 
    • While the rice is cooking, prepare the eel by grilling or frying it.
    • Put the tomato paste, olives, and butter into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth.
    • Put the oats in the blender or food processor, slightly broken up.
    • Coat the fillets with the butter mixture while grilling.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the fish cakes.
    • Spoon the liquid mixture on each open razor clam to get the flavour into the shells.
    • Dip in the flour and coat each fishcake. Dip in the egg and then coat with crumbs. Repeat this process until you have 24 fishcakes. Chill the fish cakes for one hour.
    • Serving Suggestions: Sprinkle with lime juice, chilli, spring onion and coriander and serve immediately.
