I've never taken the bones out of canned salmon, they're soft and full of nutrients, been eating it for 60+ years.

I just mash the bones. They are super soft and full of nutrients.

Those bones are completely edible and meant to be eaten. They are an excellent source of calcium especially for women. I grew up in southern Louisiana so I add some finely chopped onion, celery, green pepper, and parsley. I serve them with Mashed potatoes, biscuits and pan gravy, a green salad.The next day any leftovers are put inside a biscuit with warmed up gravy. That is a good lunch.

I've never heard of it, but I'm going try it 😉

[@tooblessedmiller6937]

I'm from the SIP(Mississippi) also. We too, ate our salmon croquettes with syrup, n biscuits. We had a big family, therefore my mother added cooked rice to the salmon mixture, to "stretch" the salmon. Years ago, I found an interesting recipe in a magazine for salmon croquettes. I haven't tried it yet, but the recipe added English peas, n cooked mashed potatoes to the salmon. Here's a "rule of thumb" I live by too.To be on the safe side,...when taste sampling my dishs with raw eggs in them, I add all ingredients, except the eggs. I then sample my dish, n if I'm satisfied with the taste, I then add the eggs last. This is just a thought, bc, I have no personal ill, feelings of anyone sampling their dishes that includes raw eggs. As, the saying goes, "to each their own." To all...be blessed and stay safe.

... it's 3:43am Monday, in the morning, n I'm here on KZbin looking at these salmon croquettes. I should be asleep, bc, I plan to work in my vegetable garden about 6:30 this morning. I HADN'T planned on cooking Monday, bc, late Sunday evening, I cooked: baked pork chops, okra corn n tomatoes, n corn bread, and I planned to eat leftovers Monday, but after seeing these croquettes, I want some RAT NOW, bc, looking at them, has me feeling hungry!!!🤭 I ain't got "no Mike 🎤" to drop, so... I'm getting my hungry tail offline, to get a little shut eye, before my day starts in about 2.5 hours. Forgive me for going on, n on n on.😬 To all...be blessed and stay safe.

[@maryannhayes557]

Wish I had paid more attention when I was younger and helping my mother in the kitchen instead of just watching and eating her delicious meals she prepared for her family of seven. I can make her chicken and dressing but there are many things I can’t because she never relied on measuring spoons and cups. The one recipe I wish I had written down was a fruit pie. She would make up a big batch put filling in a vanilla wafer or graham cracker crust and freeze them. This was back before cool whip was even on the market. But I remember her beating Dream whip or evaporated milk in her dishpan adding crushed pineapple and that is all I can remember. She wanted that pie before she died and we could not find her recipe to make one for her. I feel sorry for the younger generation because they don’t want to hear anything about what their parents had to do when they were young much less learn how to cook. Sorry for being long winded just feeling a little melancholy. Love Chef Jeffery’s channel.

Your recipes inspire me each day what I'll cook for dinner!! I was so bored with cooking the same weekly menu's for my family until I found your channel. Today I'm making the salmon patties. We love these but trying it with the mayo and then lightly putting the flour coating on is going to step it up a notch!! Thanks Chef for the love you bring to our table.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Awesome. Thanks

[@deebell912]

[@BarbieBooBoo]

I haven't even finished watching your video and already I have subcribed. I love your vibe and attitude and that towel over the shoulder reminded me of my dad cooking when I was a little girl. Thank you!

[@ozarkgrannykh]

I fixed this tonight & I prepare it the same way as you. But I made black-eyed peas & fried cabbage with bacon & onion.... so good, I'm old school (74yrs old) too & until a year ago never had salmon any other way than THIS way.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Awesome

[@clh5216]

I'm cooking this right now!Thank You for all the recipes!They definitely take me back with memories of my grandparents who raised me.Thank YOU!

[@craigbeasley8614]

In VA where I’m from we just called them “fish cakes” we made them with salmon or mackerel. Always had some fried potatoes to go along with them, and some light bread!

[@nloyd9519]

Nice job! Never thought of the mayo, but I like the idea. My mom coated the outside with cornmeal. And yes, we ate ours with Brer Rabbit syrup, smothered potatoes, and homemade biscuits!

[@jackbrock2945]

Brings back memories

[@MKalee]

I like them thinner, with side dish of mashed potatoes and gravy,( made with pan drippings) cucumber Onion sourcream salad and hot biscuits with a big ol glass of sweet tea. WHOA, MERCY 😋

[@LindaAshton-t8i]

I like how you cook straight to the point I like how you clean as you go thank you for the recipe

[@christineh7997]

We would have croquettes with rice, biscuits and ALGA syrup. OMG...good eating . We’d cut the syrup with pats of butter and dipped the biscuits in it...YUM-YUM-YUM-YUMMY...that was a party in my tummy when I was kid.

[@bva5362]

That was my father's favorite syrup...Alaga syrup! He said the name was short for Alabama and Georgia.

[@christineh7997]

@@bva5362 I was also told that the name stood for Alabama Georgia!☺️

[@janiceburpo4396]

Grew up on Alaga syrup as well. My parents favorite. Father from Bama and Mom from GA. ☺

[@angeliaparker496]

I just love the recipe. Growing up we these I had forgotten. Maybe it’s an East Texas thing. I really enjoy you cooking. It’s like being in moms kitchen again. Thanks

[@michaelthompson3748]

I remember having the croquettes for breakfast or Friday nights always with the biscuits and cream corn 🌽. Thank You Chef 👨🏾‍🍳 for the Good Ol Memories. Many Blessings Upon You And Moma Always.

[@LaVondaCoulter]

My Dad was a fisherman in his younger days (He’s almost 92 now) and loved fish any way he could get it. My Mother (RIL) made these often with fried potatoes or rice, biscuits, & gravy. Great memories ♥️

[@suzetteblakely2553]

Salmon croquettes look delicious Chef Jeff. When I was a kid my family in the beginning couldn’t afford the salmon so my mom made the Jack mackerel croquettes with smothered potatoes and onions, rice, eggs and biscuits. We also ate fat back salt pork or strick or lean fried up crispy with eggs & homemade biscuits, , eggs and pork brains( my dad worked for Armour Dial Co. & they made them)……I just love your old school recipes. Whether it was navy beans and ham hocks, turnip greens with fatback meat in them, ham, dressing, Barbque pork, chitterlings, crackling bread, crackling, apple and peach fried pies, cakes, tea cakes, cookies or whatever, cooking was a way of showing love to your family because no one had much money but plenty love to go around. It takes me back to very happy times when my parents were alive. God Bless You Chef.,😁☀️😍❤️👐🏼🙌🏼🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Yea. We used to eat jack mackerel too

[@keyunobriant9189]

I'M a down home southern girl myself I know where you coming from sister it was the same here; but the Love that was shared made it delicious; I really missed those days 😌

[@Cindistephens]

Sir I feel like I’m cookin with my Grandma watching and listening to you. I’m very happy to have found you!💜✌🏼🌻🦋

[@gaynellhall4696]

Hi Chef Jeffrey. I made the salmon patties today & it was very good.😋

[@tashevacampbell1297]

Great job! I love how you cook and clean your prep area as you go. Love your style of cooking!

[@grape4760]

Reminds me of my Mom. She made them just like this. I am a newbie!! Thank You. So many memories.

[@KhalilahBall]

I never heard of salmon croquettes with syrup...we just would eat them with grits! I need to make some soon cause I haven’t had them in years!

[@jeanivey111]

Yeah girl. All was missing was the biscuits 😕

[@paulacross3086]

They make sandwiches to, or you can eat the like regular fish, hot sauce mustard and onions.

[@legitdoctorate1607]

I think that the Molasses, Syrups, and Jellies were a consequence of serving it with those light, delicious, buttery biscuits. Such wonderful country memories. Mustn’t forget the slice of slab bacon or a link of country sausage on the side. 🥰

[@kaywhorley1591]

finally …i found someone who makes salmon patties with crackers… like my grandma and mama did -i love it!!! also i only knew about salmon from a can … and asparagus … always in a can - never had fresh asparagus or salmon until waaay later .

[@corrinnacorrinna5572]

In WV, we serve the salmon patties with honey mixed with mustard, creamed peas & potatoes, and steamed carrots. I'll have to try them with Brer Rabbit if I can find it. I'm really enjoying your channel.

[@billdonohue2389]

Mama used cornmeal and no mayonnaise, other than that, just like you did. And always made too much so we could make sandwiches the next day. Pure heaven!!!

[@aviviapatrick707]

Yes, looks so good. When my coworker told me she ate salmon croquettes for BREAKFAST w/ biscuits and syrup and rice I was shocked! Couldn’t believe it! We always had them for dinner w/ spaghetti. I see your way of eating them is very popular. Anyway I’m gonna try it w/the mayo. Sounds interesting.

[@patriciawells892]

Sounds weird that my mom made salmon croquette like this using soda cracker crumbs in it, and always served it with canned Chef Boy R D spaghetti . Even though I don't like canned spaghetti otherwise, these two dishes seemed to go together. Watching your video makes me want to make this myself .

[@patriciawells892]

I forgot to mention she dipped the croquettes in cornmeal instead of flour before frying. She was born and raised in Texas.

[@gracejones3611]

I remember those good old days. Thanks again for those memories. Have a Blessed Day.

[@dextersmithbsee]

Lord knows I ate so many salmon patties as a child! We used use a brand called Eatwell. Both momma and grandma made salmon and mackerel patties. We used to eat them with grits or rice.

[@tooblessedmiller6937]

@ Dexter Smith... Sho u right. I'm from the SIP, and "EATWELL" was the brand we ate too. Be blessed and stay safe.

[@hermanmason9635]

Yes am glad you pick the bones out because my mom use to do hers like this she wss the cook were just representatives of the cook

[@joycebrown5676]

I definitely like taking the bones out of mine as well . I also remove the slick skin. I must definitely try this recipe I never thought of putting mayonnaise or crackers in, You are a wonderful teacher Giving old. school recipes a futuristic twist to our younger generation and keeping these recipes alive and decadent as well as especially delicious this is a must try absolutely.

[@Desminique09]

It’s 4:27 now I am about to get up and cook now.

[@karsnpenr7460]

So good yes lots of wonderful memories

[@h.patriciablackshire6003]

My fondest memories come from watching my mom and dad cooking salmon in a cast iron skillet - golden brown and Fluffy, as were their buttermilk biscuits. Us children would gave the salmon with biscuits and Alaga syrup. Sometimes with grits n eggs! Finger licking good! How many had Alaga syrup growing up? Or just syrup? Perfect combo with salmons. Happy Holidays All!

[@ohsugar5431]

My grandmother would make these with left over mashed potato on a wood burning stove. They were love..so good!

[@nursienurse2220]

I always loved salmon patties growing up. I’ve made them a couple of times in my adult years, but my kids were not fans. Now that they are older (most are grown), and their taste buds are more developed, I think I’ll try it again and see how they feel about them. I like them with ketchup mixed with Tabasco and French fries. Yum!!!

[@johnmiller7544]

you sir are an artist! True chef....fantastic food and ...lovin the "clean as you go"

[@goodjujuslots-2-much699]

I grew up on these but we topped them with creamed peas. Today we like them with a home-made dill sauce. Also the left-overs are great cold!
