I'm thinking the green onions probably overpowered the clams. I'd cut
back on them and use more clams.

I would omit the lemon juice. I use lemon juice to cut the fishy
flavor of tuna, etc. May have neutralized some of the clam flavor.
Not sure.

And you can never go wrong with a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

But that's just me.
