clam cakes
Fried mollusk bites
Clam cakes are deep-fried fritters made with chopped clams, flour, and seasonings—a regional specialty of Rhode Island and coastal New England.
They're typically served as appetizers or snacks, often alongside clam chowder or with tartar sauce: We stopped at the seafood shack for clam cakes and chowder.
