1½ Cups salt cod 4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tsp. olive oil 1 Small onion, chopped
6 Medium potato 1 Lg. egg
2 Tsp. savoury Pepper to taste
( sea salt optional )
Water for boiling fish and potatoes and soaking fish over night.
Method:
Soak your salt codfish overnight, then drain off water. In medium boiler half full with
water, then add your fish, in another medium boiler half full with water, ½ tsp sea salt
( optional) ½ medium onion, then add your potatoes.
In a medium frying pan add 1 tsp butter, 1 tsp olive oil, melt then add ½ medium
chopped onion fry until golden brown.
When fish and potatoes are cooked drain off water. You will need a large bowl, add your
potatoes, sauté onion, savoury, egg, pepper then mash together. Before adding your fish
flake it apart with a fork make sure there are no bones in your fish. After you have all
your fish flaked add to your bowl, continue mashing to mix all your ingredients together.
In a small bowl add ½ cup of flour, then start scooping your mixture up with a ice cream
scoop, to make equal helpings. Form each scoop of fish mixture into a flat patty then roll
in your flour and put to the side on a plate until all your fish cakes have been made.
Preheat a medium frying pan, add 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp olive oil, put about four fish
cake in it and let fry until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes or so for each side.
This mixture makes 12 medium size fish cakes.
Bonita’s Tips:
If you only need to fry some of your fish cakes you can freeze the rest in freezer bags and
date them for another time.
Adding sea salt to the potato water helps equally season the potatoes before adding to the
mixture.
You can fry fat pork in little pieces with another medium chopped onion , this is called
scrunchins. This can be put over the top of your fish cakes.

“Just found your videos Bonita!! I am a Newfie living in Ontario and I so love what I
have seen so far! I made your fish cakes and took them to my Dad in his retirement
home, he truly misses all the Newfie meals. I’ll be trying more of your recipes in the next
while and sharing with friends! Soooo glad you are doing these videos, I miss traditional
Newfoundland cooking too and will definitely be following your channel from now on!”
