MOORE'S NEW ENGLAND CODFISH CAKES
Try these with my baked bean recipe. The combination of sweet & salt is to die for. Complete the meal with steamed brown bread and cole slaw. (I'm thinking these might be a great appetizer by adding stiffly beaten egg whites, shaping into small balls & briefly deep frying. Stay tuned.)

Steps:
- Cover the cod with cold water for 1 to 2 hours or until the cod can be torn. Change the water once or twice if the water gets excessively salty-taste. Note: DO NOT over freshen. I think salt cod must be less salty than in days of yore.
- Pare the potatoes but leave whole.
- Place the potatoes & cod in a saucepan just large enough to hold tearing the cod into pieces to fit if necessary. Cover & simmer slowly until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain & separate the cod & potatoes.
- Rice or mash the potatoes.
- Place the cod in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Roll up, & shred the cod by rubbing the cod with your fingers through the towel. (This method allows you to feel any bones that might be lurking in the fish.).
- Mix together the cod & potatoes then mix in the egg & pepper mixture. Taste for salt, add salt if the cod was "over-freshened". Can be refrigerated at this point.
- Shape the mixture into cakes about 2" in diameter & about ½" thick.
- Fry in bacon fat or butter, in a heavy skillet, over medium heat until golden on each side-about 2 or 3 minutes a side.

NEW ENGLAND CODFISH CAKES
Steps:
- Season fillets well with salt and pepper. Place on the rack of a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Remove rack and fish and let fillets cool.
- Peel potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Cover with cold water in a saucepan. Add sliced onions, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Drain potatoes well and mash them coarsely.
- When fish is cool enough to handle, flake it with a fork.
- Place potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and grated onion. Blend very well and add fish, folding it in lightly without overmixing. Put mixture in a baking dish and chill in refrigerator.
- When mixture is thoroughly cool, shape it into 12 hamburger-size patties. Put flour in a shallow dish and dredge fish cakes in it. Shake off excess flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet. Fry patties for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Use remaining 2 tablespoons oil if necessary. Serve with tartar sauce (see recipe).
