Description

I was born in Newfoundland and although I left there over 25 years ago, I still long for the salt sea air. Some of my best memories are my mom’s fish cakes. They are so delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Dry Salt Cod
  • 7 whole Medium Size Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Iinto Chunks
  • 1 whole Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper, Or To Taste
  • ¼ cups Flour, Or As Needed To Hold Cakes Together, Plus 1/2 Cup Extra For Dusting Cakes Before Frying

Preparation

The day before you plan to make the cakes, put the dry salt cod in a pot and cover with cold water. Let sit overnight, changing the water at least once more. Do not drain until ready to use.

The next day, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. You will want to have a little more fish than potatoes. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Then add the drained fish. Cook for another 15 minutes or so until fish and potatoes are well cooked. Drain and let cool.

When the potatoes and fish have cooled, mash together until well mixed. Add the chopped onion, pepper and enough flour to hold the mixture together. Take a tablespoon of the mixture, roll into balls, and then flatten with your hand. Dip both sides in flour and fry over medium heat until golden brown. Be sure to do both sides.

Serve with a dill sauce. Also great on a hamburger bun with dill sauce and lettuce.

Oh, gosh! These remind me of grandmother. I’ve never tried to make them but I think you’ve inspired me to give it a try. I never thought I would miss them, but I do!
