Clam cake

Clam cakes are a New England food, most common in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine. Each clam cake is a deep fried ball of dough with chopped clam (usually quahog) and various other ingredients. The batter is made from flour, milk, clam juice, eggs and a leavening agent, typically baking powder. Some people refer to them as "fritters", though this name can confuse non-New Englanders. Clam cakes are most often served at take-out food outlets or other informal settings, often served alongside clam chowder.
