Miss Belmar Princess King Cod Cakes

Makes about 36 Cakes. You can use Cod, Ling Albacore tuna, Striped bass, Bluefish(dark meat removed) also. The best cakes are those that use a combination of fish.

The recipe is similar to some already posted on the site. It is a combination of an old recipe and some new ideas. They seemed to go over well on the Cod Express

To anyone who is "thinking" about trying this one. You need not think, you need to make up a batch. This is no BS when I say they are the best fishcakes I have ever tasted and I have had quite a few in my time. They are indeed serious!

Cakes will be "available" on Cod trips I attend.

Used up the last of my frozen sea bass on fish cakes this past week. A very good dish for using frozen fish without tasting any freezer burn or off-putting flavors.
