FISH CAKES

 

We don’t like to tell long winded stories or tell you things you already know, so here it is plain and simple.

From Nans kitchen to yours. ​

​

What you need:

• 2.5 pounds salt or fresh fish

• 3 pounds potatoes, peeled

• 1 yellow large onion, minced

• Beer, 1 splash (optional)

• 2 tablespoons Cod Spice

• 1/4 cup bacon bits (approx.8 strips of bacon)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for mix

• 1/2 cup all-Purpose flour for dredging

• 1/4 cup real butter

• 3 Tbsp bacon grease

• Mustard pickles, for serving (optional)

​

1. Boil fish for 12 minutes.

2. Drain, cool, remove skin and debone.

3. Cook bacon bits or use real store-bought keep the bacon grease.

4. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (approx. 12-15mins). Drain and cool. Roughly mash, you want it a little chunky.

5. Sautee onions until caramelized, (optional: give them a splash of beer to deglaze the pan), simmer remove from heat.

6. Add fish, caramelized onion, bacon, 1/4 cup flour & Cod Spice to the potato pot mix well but do not mash too much.

7. Use an ice cream scoop to portion them evenly & form into patties.

8. Dredge fish cake patties in the 1/2 cup flour.

9. Heat butter & bacon grease in a pan on medium heat. When the oil is hot - but not smoking - start frying the fish cakes until they’re golden brown on both sides.   

10. Serve with home fries and mustard pickle 

 

*Go the local farmers market and get some good homemade mustard pickle.

​*Taste before adding your own salt and pepper, Cod Spice should have you covered.
