We call ours clam fritters. Most places around here call them clam cakes. It’s more of a regional thing to call them cakes. Fritters, by definition, are bits of batter that are pan or deep fried that contain meat or fruit. So, we call them fritters because it is more universally known. However, if you come to our window and order a dozen clam cakes we won’t question or correct... We know what you want!
