You are so very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed our new recipe today. It is indeed a tasty meal. :) Bonita
A very tasty looking fish loaf. Cheers, Bonita and Raymond! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
I made this for supper today. Used a shallot instead of onion, no fat pork, used olive oil. used oregano instead of savoury (hard to get where I live!), used my homemade bread, baked it but topped it with shredded red leicester cheese for the last 15 minutes. Oh my goodness! This was drop the fork and knife delicious!! Thank you Bonita, and thank you to Raymond and all of your team!

Nice! Hi Ella thank you for stopping by...I hope all is well and I'm thinking you are going to love this recipe. Enjoy and have a lovely day!! :) Bonita
That looks yummy!!!
It is so tasty and welcome Richard your our first message to our new video!! Enjoy Bonita
I could eat this all day every day and I love the scrunchens you put in there. COD always reminds me of home and I love summer savoury. Sorry I am so late. It has been quite the week . What a beautiful and quick meal. Thank you Bonita for sharing your lovely recipe and thank you Raymond for all the work you do as well. I hope you have an enjoyable rest of the week and weekend ahead 🤗
Hi Jerri ellen, Thank you for stopping by and checking out our new video. Cod got to be one of the nice's fish to work with and it makes lovely meals. I hope your week is going well, I know your son is moving and that could be so much work and stressful. Have a lovely rest of the week Neighbour and take some time for yourself. :) Bonita
Ummmm love fish 😊
This was one of the best recipes ever, my mouth is watering for this, thank you for this recipe.
Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad Ricky you enjoyed this one and thank you so much for stopping by. It is indeed a very tasty meal and not a lot of ingredient's to make it. :) Enjoy Bonita
Thanks for sharing what for me is a brand new menu idea. Never heard of fish loaf before but I will give it a try now. Cod is always available at my local chain grocery store and I do enjoy it. I'd likely just use some chopped bacon and its grease rather than the salt pork, and thyme/sage or something to replace the savory (not common here in Chicago).
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed our fish loaf recipe.... here in Newfoundland and Labrador we are all about the queen of the sea...our atlantic codfish recipes...bacon fat and thyme or sage will work great for this recipe...Please let me know if you made it. Happy Easter to you and yours!! :) Bonita
I keep threatening to jump in my phone and eat your plate of food. OMG, I wanted to for sure today. Great meal. Thank you again Bonita. ❤
Haha that is so funny and lovely at the same time. You are the best...this is indeed a lovely meal and not a lot of ingredient's :) Enjoy and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
Looks Delicious 😋 I’am a Fish 🐟 eater Thank You 🙏 Bonita and Raymond 🍀🐠🐟
You are very welcome Mary, I'm so glad you stopped by and enjoyed our new recipe this week. We are always looking for more ways to include fish in our diets and this one is very tasty. Enjoy Bonita
What a fine video! Yum!!!❤️
Thank you!! Enjoy our recipe to the fullest and thank you for stopping by... :) Bonita
yummmm 👍👍
I have never had a fish loaf. That one looks delicious. I will be making that one, Thankyou.
You are missing out on another amazing way to serve fish to your family. This is a tasty meal and makes lovely leftovers too. Enjoy Bonita
Looks fantastic!
Delicious!
That is so amazing Bonita!! Why can’t we get Newfound cod right here in Ontario!! Not fair. I say!! 🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦we just are not happy. As Canadian people we have amazing products. No need for importing from other places. All I need is a good glass of white wine with this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Hope, Thank you so much for stopping by and I'm so sorry you can't find good Newfoundland cod in Ontario. Years ago there was a Newfoundland seafood store in Ontario called Stoyles but they closed down. I do have a facebook link here to another company called Mudders Cupboard they are based out of Ottawa but I think ships some products. This is the link and it's worth checking out!! facebook.com/mudderscupboard enjoy our new recipe and have a lovely day!! Bonita
A wonderful addition to the rotation of easy dishes. Thank you for sharing. I think if you made this with a stuffing mix and minced garlic, it would even be better
Hi Margo! Thank you for your message and for stopping by..I'm glad you enjoyed our fish loaf recipe. I'm sure you can change it up with those ingredient's and it would taste good. Try it this way first and let me know what you think...the savoury and basic seasonings work will together. Stop by each Sunday we post a new video and recipe. :) Bonita
Wow, I love this one. Thanks so much. I'm making this one.
Nice! I'm so glad you enjoyed our new recipe this week. It is indeed a tasty meal and not a lot of ingredient's. Enjoy Bonita
Good morning Bonita Raymond Hussey and family. Hope you all are well. This looks delicious. Thank You for sharing. Spent friday at hospital with chest pains and weakness. Thankfully it wasn't a heart attack but I do have fluid around the heart. Have to see a cardiologist. Will keep you postec. Have a wonderful Blessed day and week from Wendy Bertie a huge viewer your channel
So sorry to hear Wendy you haven't been feeling well. Please God the cardiologist will help you feel better soon. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Bonita
Delicious Bonita, I made it couple days ago. It was a hit. Thanks
That is so wonderful Karen, thank you for following up with us letting us know. :) Bonita
Bonita, this is the same ingredients that I use to make a Salmon loaf which my husband and I make often. I love to make creamed peas and baked potatoes to serve with it. Would you say that your fish loaf taste similar to a Salmon loaf? Or even Salmon patties. I never thought of using Cod fish which is my favorite fish by the way. Another great recipe that I would love to try. Thank you my New Fundland friends.
Hi Kathy! Thank you for stopping by and for your question? You can use any type of fish for this one, salmon will change the taste a little but that's not a bad thing. It will stand out, you can maybe use dill instead of the savoury. But the savoury is pretty nice in this recipe. Enjoy to the fullest!! :) Bonita
My late mother used to make this with canned salmon. She'd use two 213 gram cans. Of course, she'd pick out any bones and skin then break up the chunks of salmon. Scrunchions weren't available in those days. I'd use bacon now and I think Tsatziki would go nicely with this.
That is so lovely, thank you for sharing your moms recipe and for stopping by. Bacon will work great or shavings of beef fat for the oil. But whatever way you make it I'm thinking you will put your amazing spin on it!! Have a lovely day and enjoy!! Bonita
Oh boy, does that ever look delicious! Thank you for sharing it with us
You are so very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed our new recipe today. It is a lovely quick fish meal to make and it makes good leftovers. :) Enjoy Bonita
I'd never heard of fish loaf. It's like fish and brewis with scruncheons -- but turned into a sort of meatloaf. Now I just need to find some savoury.
HI Kevin, Thank you so much for stopping by and yes it's like fish and brewis in a loaf for sure... but a few less ingredient's and it tastes so good. If you can't find savoury check at the grocery store for summer savoury or ground savoury.. Have a wonderful day!! Enjoy Bonita
Fish is what I love for my protein of choice. Any opportunity to try a new or different recipe is welcome. As you said we can substitute something other than the cubed pork. Hi to Raymond for us. Take care and thank you again.
Thank you so much for stopping by and we are so glad you enjoyed our new recipe this week. Yes for sure you can substitute in this recipe. Enjoy Bonita
Bonita this Fish Loaf looks like it taste delicious 😋 and it's nt hard to make!!!
Thank you Tina for your message and yes it is a delightful meal and so easy to make. I hope you get to make it sometime soon and enjoy to the fullest!! Bonita
So this is basically fish cakes in loaf form,and healthier as you don’t fry them,good idea.I don’t like cod as it’s to me tasteless,so perhaps a fish with a bit more taste,I make salmons cakes,but British style with mashed potatoes,I would like to try this recipe,so thank you.
Hi Janet, Thank you for your message and for stopping by. I'm glad you watched the video and enjoyed our recipe. Our fish cakes are made with potatoes a little different then this loaf. But equally as tasty. Cod is a white fish similar to lake trout. When codfish is fresh you can taste the difference between fresh and frozen. I will share our fish cakes video czcams.com/video/wq96eS-66f4/video.htmlsi=x7Jha03SXKc3Rg93 Enjoy Bonita
Wow! A Raymond sighting! If you are able to, get Summer Savoury, it's delightful and to be honest, I prefer it over sage.
Hi and thank you for stopping by...haha sometimes Raymond pops into the set for a quick visit. But he is very comfortable behind the Camera. Hi agree savoury is lovely and the summer savoury is pretty much the same as the one we grow and use here in NL. Have a wonderful day. Enjoy Bonita
Hi Bonita & Raymond. If you are using frozen fish, I assume you would thaw it first and press out as much moisture as possible? Those Scrunchions are very interesting. Glad you mentioned some substitutions as I don't think I've seen them here in Ontario.
Yes for sure let the fish thaw because you don't want to over cook the fish just really blanched it. The scrunchions is so tasty! I'm sure you can eat them like popcorn!! For sure you can substitute the fat pork. Enjoy to the fullest and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
Hi again, Bonita. I could use your advice on this. I used the parchment paper to line the pan. However, the food sticks to the paper. Wondering if I should stop using the paper. The pan has a non-stick coating. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Love this dish though! Had it again for supper tonight!
Bonita, have you made with with dried cod? That's one lovely Newfoundland thing we get here in Alberta. We do get "salt pork" -- "salted fat," but frozen cod is often already breaded.
Hi Diane, Thank you for your question and for stopping by... you can make this one with dried cod but you will need to soak it overnight to remove most of the salt and rehydrate the cod. Then follow the recipe for the rest. You can use another white fish or fish of choice. I hope you get to make this one sometime. :) Enjoy Bonita
This sounds yummy! When I was young and lived with my parents, Mom use to make cod tongues and cheeks with pork scraps and onions. It was served with milk and butter sauce. Do you make that?
Hi David. I just seen your message, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe and yes we have lot's of traditional recipes available. This is the pan fried cod tongues recipe and link... www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/pan-fried-cod-tongues-traditional-newfoundland/ this is a white cod pudding recipe with a drawn butter recipe you are talking about with milk and butter.... www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/white-bread-cod-pudding-with-drawn-butter/ Have a Happy Easter weekend!! Enjoy Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Thanks Bonita! Happy Easter to you both!
Hey Bonita, I want to make your fish loaf soon. Shall I try to order savory or will thyme taste as well? I live in Louisiana . Thanks so much!
Hi Sandy Thank you for your message and for stopping by. You can use thyme or ever sage to make it but if you wish to order some for the next time you make it. The savoury is a herb we use for our stuffings and cooking with and it puts a lovely flavour on the food. But thyme or sage will work great!! Enjoy Bonita
This fish loaf looks really delicious, dear Mrs. Bonita! I'm here in Austria/Europe, don' t know the breadcrumbs you used. Ist ist soaked in milk or water? Could not find out. German automatically translation really bad. Can you please help me? Alice
HI Alice! Thank you for your message and for stopping by. Bread crumbs is just stale bread and you grate it down to make crumbs. So whatever type of bread you and your family enjoy eating grate it down and use it in this recipe. You don't soak it just leave it stale, or it is also called outdated bread. Our recipe is posted under the video in the description area. Just translate the recipe not the video. I hope this helps and enjoy!! Bonita
Thanks so much Bonita, now it's clearer to me. I'll give it a try!
It's a shame the camera man (AKA Raymond) couldn't be in another location so we can see him. That was a nice view of you and him at 10:00...a different shot.
Haha I'm glad you enjoy his pop in every so often...I think his a little camera shy!! But I will pass on your message to him... Happy Easter!! :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Happy Easter to you guys as well...I hope he's not Easter bunny shy...lol.
Can bacon be used instead of the pork ?
Yes for sure it's still a pork fat it will work great. You can also use just a tablespoon of regular oil or butter. This is a lovely meal. Enjoy Bonita
It's a shame the camera man (AKA Raymond) couldn't be in another location so we can see him.
