As a young teenager I can remember when my sister prepared a dish for me, it tasted so good I longed for the taste often. I can remember when she would be happy in the kitchen preparing her specialty “Cod Fish Cakes.” When I would eat them, I can remember how the flavor of them would stick to my tongue. Unfortunately, after a few years of her preparing them for my siblings and I she passed away, so I was unable to taste her cod fish cakes anymore.
As years went by, I would often reminisce on how she would make these cakes in the kitchen while I would watch sometimes although playing around in the kitchen with her just being a young man enjoying our younger years was more like it. After thinking about all the ingredients, she used I decided to give it a try myself. As I think about this now this is probably where my love for cooking all began. To prepare these cod fish cakes, you need Cod Fish, potatoes, onions, green peppers, eggs, and crush peppers. You first boil the cod fish a few times along with the potatoes, then you combine all the other ingredients along with the cod fish and the potatoes in a bowl, adding different spices to satisfy your tastebuds. You then mix it all up very well, then make patties or little cakes out of the mixture. You then batter them in all-purpose flour and fry them.
Although this seems like a simple recipe like my sister, I had to learn how to feel the texture of these ingredients in order to get them to stick together in a patty or cake like shape, it can be tedious. Hopefully someone would be brave enough to try it and let me know how you like it.

I see that you posted this a few years ago and I was just wondering have you attempted to make them lately. Your post has brought back so many memories from my childhood back home sir and I thank you for that. I don't know where you are located in the world but I would love to try your fish cakes.

Hey Patrick, just wanted to let you know I just read your reply and when I got to yhe bit where you recited the recipe it actually made me cry, It's so lovely that you thought to share this and even made me laugh to think that from your sisters perspective that you remembered it.. I have screen shotted in the hopes to have a go at making them myself.. Something I could share with my daughter as she likes these and is now of age she's creating her own dishes which I'm very proud of. I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing a special thought provoking memory xx
