  • Welcome to Bonita's Kitchen!
    Today we will be making fish cakes, they are made with salted cod, fried onions, mashed potatoes and so much more. See recipe below!
    Our website link: www.bonitaskitchen.com
    Cookbooks link: www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook
    Recipe:
    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.

      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!

    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!

      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

    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.

    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.

    • @bonitaskitchen
      @bonitaskitchen  Před 6 měsíci

I have a blueberry duff recipe and video here that could be what your GM made with her boiled dinner....czcams.com/video/9vJ7aHgU04c/video.htmlsi=cyatqy1B0oFaHBNk you can bake, stream or microwave that one. Fish and brewis is a old traditions of our elders....they would get their salted fish ready for Christmas Eve supper. We have many traditional recipes available here and on our website www.bonitaskitchen.com if you wish to check them out....If there is a recipe you can't find send me a message at bonitakitchen@gmail.com :) Happy New Year!!

      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.

    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 will translate your message first for everyone to read, Thank you so much for your lovely message, I do have my own TV show here in Newfoundland with EastLink Community TV and it runs 7 days a week for everyone to enjoy. Plus our CZcams Channel and our website, www.bonitaskitchen.com both me and my husband works pretty much all the time or until we drop. But we enjoy every minute of our work, we love helping and sharing our traditional and Non-Traditional recipes with everyone to enjoy. Thank you once again and have a wonderful day. :) Bonita ........Hello Bonita! I couldn't imagine that Newfoundland could offer such good recipes with fish. 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. Kind regards, Rosalia Keller

    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
      @bonitaskitchen  Před 2 lety +1

      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

    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!

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

He passed away 10 years ago on the 14th of Dec, I don't know where that time went. I think the sea bass would work lovely with this recipe, let me know if you make it.

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

    • @bonitaskitchen
      @bonitaskitchen  Před 5 lety +1

      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
