How to recreate the authentic taste of Newfoundland cod cakes
In short: Inspired by a journey through the East Coast, from Fogo Island to Doyle's Lobster Pond, this video demonstrates how to prepare classic Newfoundland-style fish cakes using traditional methods and ingredients.
The recipe focuses on preparing salt dried cod, which requires soaking in cold water overnight with periodic water changes, followed by a 15-minute simmer in boiling water. Once cooled and flaked, the fish is combined with mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, egg, pepper, and dried savoury.
To achieve the authentic texture, the shaped cakes are rolled in flour and fried in scrunchion over medium heat until golden brown. This comforting, freezer-friendly dish represents a staple of East Coast Canadian cooking and can be paired with rhubarb relish or extra scrunchions.
