[@ogrider2738]

I'm Japanese. My 25 year-friend from Newfoundland, who lives in Ontario nowaday told me his local dish this time, yes, it's a codfish cakes!! Thank you for sharing!! I will try to cook and to tell him what I think about!!

[@bonitaskitchen]

You are very welcome and I'm glad to help, thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita

[@seankearney730]

Hey Bonita…..made your bread recipe today. Made bread and buns. It looks like it turned out great. While kneading I was hoping to get those cracking sounds which I did. Thanks so much!

[@seankearney730]

The house smells fantastic!

[@marknichols7861]

I am from the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, but live in Southern Arizona now. Sure do miss the sea food. I used unsalted cod filets to make your recipe and just used Thyme, Sage and Parsley (from the tins) to make this version. It is amazing - sitting here with a full tummy, both my wife and I are thrilled with how it turned out. It brought a bit of home back to me. My mom always made cod fish cakes with salted cod. Wonderful and thank you!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Mark, I love listening to stories on how my recipes turns out for our viewers, I understand totally when you have to substitute some ingredients because they are not available in stores. But it's also nice to make the recipe your own, Check in the grocery store for summer savoury leaves you may be able to find that there I bought it in Florida before, it is almost the same as ours on the east coast. Thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen please feel free to share any recipe with family and friends. Bonita

[@nikitanugent7165]

My wife and I made these tonight. Delicious! Thanks from Ontario.

[@Stellartonslim]

Great video! That is exactly how my grandmother from Cape Breton did hers. I make them out here in the prairies and people love them. I serve them with baked beans and mustard pickles. Yummy.

[@bonitaskitchen]

[@bonitaskitchen]

You are welcome Carl, I'm glad you enjoy them, its my pleasure. :) Bonita

[@kc2dtp]

Hello Bonita, I am enjoying your recipes very much. I come from the North Sea coast and many of the Newfoundland recipes are very similar to the ones I grew up with. We ate fish cakes often. my mother liked to serve a dish of sour cream and dill mixed together to put on top of the fish cakes. I now live by Lake Ontario in New York but these recipes are still on my menu.

[@marknichols7861]

Ok... I’ve gone and done it again tonight! I used savory this time and made 8 large patties. Had them with corn on the cob (a couple tablespoons of water in a gallon ziplock bag mostly closed - 50cm open and about 5 mins for small cobs - test it in your microwave) they come out perfect. Your cod cake recipe is so good. Used unsalted cod again - just a lot of salt 😃 My Arizona wife loves them too!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Mark: Thank you for stopping by and sharing the corn on the cob tips with us, I love it and I'm going to give it a try. I'm also glad you enjoyed our fish cakes recipe, using fresh cod is great and adding salt to bring it together is great. I would put it in the boiler when cooking it and it goes through the fish. Have a lovely day. :) Bonita

[@beverlyroach9482]

Generations of my ancestors lived in Digby and Annapolis Royal in NS. Salt cod was a mainstay in their diet. I still serve it to my family, topped with tomato sauce, raw sweet onion combined with mayonnaise. and crisp bacon bits . I am hoping my children and their families will continue this traditional meal, using what our ancestors had available in their root cellars. Thanks, from upstate New York, for your recipe.

[@bonitaskitchen]

You are very welcome Beverly and thank you for stopping by and Thank you for sharing your ancestors story with us. It is indeed so lovely to keep traditions going and salted cod is a staple in home on the east coast. Have a wonderful day and Happy Valentine's Day. :) Bonita

Can’t wait for covid to be over to visit Newfoundland! Enjoy your cooking!

[@EugeneCormier]

Bonita, thank you so much again!!! I've been trying a few different recipes for fish cakes and I've been having some 'falling apart' issues which I'm guessing is due to my mixture being too hot, the potatoes/fish being to coarse, and my recipe didn't have egg. I wasn't using savoury, but I definitely will now! It is so helpful to see the process rather than reading a recipe :)

[@bonitaskitchen]

Yes I agree! Letting your mixture come to room temp before shaping the cake works great. Having savoury in the mixture give it a lovely flavour. They are lovely rewarmed as well :) Enjoy and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

Hallo, Bonita! Ich konnte mir gar nicht vorstellen, daß in Neufundland so gute Rezepte mit Fisch geben könnten. Ich bin richtig davon sehr begeistert und ich denke, Sie haben ein großes Glück, daß Sie auf einer Insel leben, die vom offenen Atlantik Ozean umgeben ist. Ganz anders ist es bei mir! Sie sollten tatsächlich eine eigene Sendung im Fernsehen haben, weil Sie das verdienen! Kompliment für dieses Rezept, das ich demnächst probieren werde. Bis zum nächsten Mal wünsche ich Ihnen ein schönes und gesundes Wochenende. Herzliche Grüße, Rosalia Keller

I'm really excited about it and I think you're very lucky to be living on an island surrounded by the open Atlantic Ocean. It's completely different with me! You should actually have your own TV show because you deserve it! Compliments for this recipe, which I will try soon. Until next time, I wish you a nice and healthy weekend.

[@jomamablu]

Thanks for sharing your recipe! I've been making fishcakes since I left home but what I forgot to add to my recipe (which is the same as yours) is savory! Tonight I'm having fishcakes that will have savory. Along with fishcakes, I will be serving a ceaser salad and either homemade bread or dinner rolls .. but beans would be yummy. Mustard pickles sounds good too! I only wish I could have lots of cod in my freezer; along with partridge berries (I've settled with cranberries - that's as close as I can get to pb!)

[@jomamablu]

Bookmarked your website. Thanks for sharing!

[@jomamablu]

So, I made your recipe but found out I guess I've outgrown Savory! Didn't like the fishcakes as much as I do without the savory - but hey, now I know! Still I enjoy your videos and will continue making the fishcakes without the savory. Enjoy your day.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting and bookmarking my channel, having fishcakes with savoury is the best. I like for combination, Caesar salad, homemade bread and mustard pickles :) Enjoy Bonita

[@1224bobo]

if serving the cakes with Scrunchins, would you cook them at the same time in the same pan or by themselves?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and I would cook them first in the frying pan with a tbsp of butter and then drain some of the fat off before you fry your fish cakes. That way the fish cakes got the flavour or the scrunchins on them, add more butter if you are frying more then one pan full. My friend puts her chopped fat pork in a bowl first and put them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to release the fat then pour that with the fat pork into the frying pan to continue frying before draining, this stops the pork from releasing smoke. Whatever way you make them they will be lovely. Enjoy Bonita

My grandparents were from St. John's, and listening to you is like listening to my grandmother. What memories. Fish and brewis were always my favorite, with the fish sitting in a pan of cold water overnight on the back stairs. Still love to know what the bread pudding was she made with a boiled dinner. I think it was cooked in a cloth with the meat, but not sure. Wish I could recreate it.

I couldn't stand salt cod growing up, but I always loved the fish cakes that my mother made from the leftovers.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Will: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm thinking most of us kids didn't like salt fish. But for me now I love eating salt fish and even putting it in my seafood chowder. Enjoy Bonita

[@marynichols438]

I love watching your videos. I always learn something. Could you do a video on how to make blueberry muffins?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Denise I liked your post a few months back but I don't see my reply, I have a video posted on youtube for blueberry muffins, just checking to see if you seen it or made them. Sorry for the late reply. Bonita

[@snaggle123456]

Yes I did watch the video. I made the muffins and they were that good that I made them a second time. Thanks for making all the great videos of traditional Newfoundland dishes. Love watching your videos

We the Portuguese make salt cod almôndegas look like yours different shape dip fryer.to bad we not have salt cod fish from Newfoundland here in B.C .we find salt code from Norway . In Italy shops or Portuguese just in big cities. Love your recipes❤️

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe and its ok to use any type of salted cod . Plus you can use fresh cod and use add a pinch of sea salt. Have a lovely day and thank you for for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@MrLANWANMAN]

Ummm good 👍

[@annettehachey7909]

Interesting way of doing these, I do up salmon cakes and dip them in egg and bread crumbs.

[@bonitaskitchen]

That sounds lovely and I've made them before and loved them, we have crab cakes on here as well you can check them out, www.bonitaskitchen.com or here on youtube. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our channel. :) Bonita

good eats.peace.🙂

[@1224bobo]

Still my go to recipe

[@bonitaskitchen]

Nice!! Bless you and enjoy to the fullest!! Merry Christmas!! Bonita

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

It looks like you used summer savory, leafy and green; but winter savory, needle-like, is my favorite aromatic herb.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I've made them with canned tuna, but not so good. I tried making bacalao once, salt fish, and soaked it, kept changing the water, and it was still inedibly salty. How much of the salt did you get out?

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Would skinless and boneless sardines work? I don't like canned salmon. I don't think we can get any other canned fish, excep kippers.

[@tWoforgamenot1]

lovely . i wont Some :)

[@wonderwom14]

Nice job! Thank you!

Thanks Bonita! Will be cooking up some of those bad boys ASAP.

[@bonitaskitchen]

That is wonderful and you are very welcome, thank you Peter for stopping by and watching our video. Enjoy Bonita

This takes me back to my childhood. Mom used to serve them with stewed tomatoes and mashed potatoes for Friday night supper, as we didn't eat meat on Fridays. Thank you for sharing. I must make these.

[@johnirby493]

Fish sure isn't vegetables.

[@1stGeorgiaGirl]

@@johnirby493 > We didn't eat meat or poultry on Fridays because our family was Catholic. Back then, it was forbidden. Yeah I know, that makes me a "Boomer."

[@johnirby493]

@@1stGeorgiaGirl I'm probably older than you are, but what I was getting at, is that fish is meat, also. Meatless, for us, due to economics, was usually a macaroni and cheese casserole.

[@1stGeorgiaGirl]

@@johnirby493 > Most people see the term meatless and think "vegetarian." Catholics equate it to Fish only.

[@joanbaggs1915]

Looks delicious! My mom Used to buy those at the fish store when I was a little girl.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you Joan for stopping by, you can still buy them in some stores here in Newfoundland but they are fresher making them yourself. Enjoy and thank you for leaving a message. :) Bonita

[@jld3229]

Bonita, I have made these little tasty gems and I must say they are delightful. The only difference was that I used Babinos "Chicken Haddie" a canned cod from your area.. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you so much for your message, and I'm so glad you have been making them. This is wonderful you are able to get the canned cod from NL, have a lovely day. Bonita

[@brawyn777]

Making them now, going to serve with beans, thanks from PEI

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Emily: You are very welcome, serving them with with beans sounds delicious. Thank you for your message and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita

[@raymondmichael3077]

Yummylicious!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe and for stopping by....:) Bonita

[@raymondmichael3077]

Followed your recipe except I went kommando, left out the white flour, still delish!@@bonitaskitchen

[@bonitaskitchen]

@@raymondmichael3077 Thank you for your message and for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe and sorry you didn't see the part where I used flour. Rolling the cakes in flour helps keep them together during the frying stage. Maybe next time you will remember that and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
