Cold and wet, like seafood perhaps (6)

I believe the answer is:

clammy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cold and wet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'seafood perhaps' is the wordplay.
'seafood' becomes 'clam' (clam is a kind of seafood).
'perhaps' becomes 'my' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'clam'+'my'='CLAMMY'

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clammy that I've seen before include "Dank" , "Wet and sticky" , "Moist and adhesive" , "Stewing" , "Cold and damp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
