BAJAN FISHCAKES
Episode #21
DECORATE WITH PARTY TOOTHPICKS
(USE SOME OF THE BATTER WITH THE MASHED POTATO)
1 1/2 LBS OR 2 1/4 CUPS OF COD FISH
1/2 CUP SCALLIONS (CHOPPED)
1/2 CUP ONION (FINELY CHOPPED)
1 TBSPN SCOTCH BONNET PEPPER (DESEEDED & CHOPPED FINE)
1/3 CUP FRESH PARSLEY (CHOPPED)
1 TBSPN FRESH THYME (CHOPPED)
1 /2 TBSPN PAPRIKA
1 TBSPN FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER
1/2 TBSPN ADOBO
1/2 TSPN GROUND CLOVE
1 TBSPN BAJAN PEPPERSAUCE
1/4 CUP FRESH MARJORAM
2 MEDIUM POTATO (COOK AND MASHED W/ A LITTLE BUTTER) (OPTIONAL)
5 CUPS SELFRISING FLOUR
4 CUPS WATER
METHOD
BOIL THE FISH FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, CHANGE THE WATER AT LEAST ONCE TO GET MOST OF THE SALT OUT.
WHILE THE FISH IS BOILING COOK THE POTATO (S); WHEN DONE TRANSFER TO A BOWL, MASH WITH A FORK AND ADD A LITTLE BUTTER AND SET ASIDE. WHEN THE FISH IS DONE; THROW OFF THE WATER AND ADD COLD WATER TO THE FISH AND LET SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES TO COOL. THROW OFF THE WATER, CLEAN THE FISH BY DEBONING AND REMOVING SKIN AND TRANSFER TO A BOWL; BREAK UP THE FISH INTO CHUNK SIZE PIECES AND RINSE IN COLD WATER AGAIN. TAKE THE BIG CHUNKS ONE PIECE AT A TIME AND FRIZZ FINELY. ADD ALL THE CHOPPED HERBS, ONIONS, SCALLIONS, HOT PEPPER, SPICES AND MIX WELL TO COMBINE; ADD THE MASHED POTATO AND MIX WELL; ADD THE FLOUR AND MIX WELL THEN ADD THE WATER TO A SOUPY CONSISTENCY BUT NOT TOO SOUPY; MIXING WELL.
HEAT A MEDIUM SIZE HEAVY DUTY POT ADDING THE VEGETABLE OIL, ENOUGH TO DEEP FRY, SPOON THE BATTER INTO THE HOT OIL AND COOK UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. WHEN DONE TRANSFER TO A PLATTER WITH WAX PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS. COOL BEFORE SERVING.
P.S.
IT MAKE SENSE TO MAKE A LOT OF BATTER AT ONE TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN FREEZE THE BATTER IN PINT SIZE CONTAINERS AND MAKE AT A LATER DATE; ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS DEFROST THE BATTER AND FRY.
Some salt bread with two of those fish cakes....mmmmm delicious.
Huuuummmmm!!! lol Beverley
Mmmmm love me a bread and two
My aunt makes these. When I was pregnant, this was all that I craved. I ate almost all of them by myself. They're one of my favorites.
Hey Syaira!! So interesting what we crave with pregnancy but that is very often the case; you eat a couple and you keep going back and back, lol. So happy you stopped by and thank you soooo much for the support, I truly appreciate it. God bless you my dear. Xoxo
I'm in a fishcake mood now! With the amount of essential herbs in that recipe that has to be one of the healthiest fried foods, I know they already have it for taste.
I know right, I wish I could always have some batter in the freezer that I could just pull out when I feel like eating
them. That is a great recipe, thanks so much for watching cuz.
Very lovely. Going to try the recipe
Thank you!!!! Xoxo

Bajan fish cakes are the Best!! Do u have recipe for a dipping sauce??
You made it just like my mother used to. Like you said the potato is optional.
In our household we loved adding more fresh peppers just for that extra kick!!
There were never enough fishcakes in our home.
Hello Kmahabir; I know what you mean, you eat one then you want another and another especially withe the extra kick of pepper. Thanks so much dear and a blessed new year to you.
Tried this recipe today, first time ever I attempted making fish cakes. Well, the fsh cakes were delicious. Also managed give away some batter to a friend...she was eating the fish cakes straight out of the pan. So I will be making another batch very soon. Greetings from the UK and thanks for a very good recipe.
Yeah!!!!! So happy for you; it sure feels good when you can make enough and freeze in small or large portions to make whenever you feel it eating some or having guess over. Enjoy my dear and have a blessed weekend.

Hello June, thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it.Blessings Xo
Looks delicious!! I grew up eating Bajan cod fish fritters because my friend's mom use to make them for the holidays or special events and they were so yummy. I always begged her for the recipe but she never shared so I recreated my own just from memory and taste.
Ohhhh good for you!!!! The sense of taste is amazing, thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it. Xx
Well I never know bajan put potatoes in fish cakes is this new??

❤ thank you so much for this recipe. It was the one thing I miss from an ex-boyfriend of mine. They came out great. I enjoyed making them with my daughter. It was the perfect this for Easter. God bless you and ❤😂🎉your channel.
Ohhhh thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching, hope you had a blessed and safe Resurrection Sunday and Good Friday. Unfortunately as they say, good things don't last forever but it is good that you get to make them with your daughter and you can still enjoy them. 😁❤
When I was in grade school a classmate of mine's mother used sweet potato in hers. I can't remember what island Doreen's parents were from but they were different from my Mother's fishcakes (my Mom was from Jamaica). Both were very delicious!!!!!
Hello M.M. Scott! I am sure it was good with the sweet potato, different but nice to put a spin on things at times; it all depends on your pallet, variety is good. Thanks so much for watching and I hope to see you again soon, new recipes coming on Wednesday. Have a blessed week. Xx
Love Bajan fish cakes so tasty going try this 😃thanks
Thank you so much Maureen and let me know how they came out. Be Blessed.
Everything Paulette hi Paulette will do I live in uk which best fish to use as our cod not really salty I live in north so not sure which fish the best to use thank u
Great! I do have a lot of family in the UK, I will see what I can come up with and get back to you.
Everything Paulette thank u I have seen it on line it looks dry will that be ok sorry keep borthering u but would love to try them as I love the fish cakes every time I go Barbados have to buy them also the macorni pie but now can make it 😋
Hi Maureen, yes it suppose to look dry, some may look more dry than others. I just heard back from my Dad, he said certain places sell it; even Sainsbury has it, and he ask you to check the World Food Section in the supermarkets. If that fails get a piece of cod, strip it up, soak or boil it in some salty water then prepare it and you are good to go. I hope I have helped you and thanks again for supporting.
Hey I love your preparations ,maybe one day you can cook a dish for me on my show.
Thank you soooo much for watching!!! that sounds like a plan, looking forward to it.
I remember! One day my mom made this. With potatos! I look at my mom and said... Never again! You hear me! Never... Great recipe 👍 thanks planning to cook this up this week.

good job
Romain David thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you Angela!!!!
Can you please show us what you make the with
Wether it's rice salad for veg .
Or may chips , I don't know.
But it would be nice if you cook other foods as a whole dish to show us what you would put them with .
Well that's my request anyway.
Thank you 💕
Yes I am bajan and some do but I don’t know it’s necessary when you already have the flour that is to my mind enough to bind the mixture, but I don’t profess to be an expert.
Great!!
Thank you!!! Xo

How much baking powder to use if I’m not using self rising flour
Hello Mildred, usually it is 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup of flour, that is the guide line. I hope that helps and I want to thank you very much for your support; I truly appreciate it. Let me know how it turn out for you. I wish you and your love ones to be safe. Xoxo
They maybe fish cakes but not bajan fish cakes
i love fish cakes
Hello my friend, thank you so much for stopping by, always appreciated. Have a blessed evening. Xo
Hello dear, could I make them a day ahead?
You can but preferably not, you can make the batter ahead of time and keep refrigerated and make the day of. Thanks for watching. Xo
looks good
Thank you so much.
How do you know when they are done? So many times mine are nice and golden on the outside but raw on the inside. what Am I doing wrong?
Hello Paula, It might be possible that your heat is a bit too high, if that is the case then yes, they are going to brown quick and not cooked in the inside; yeah you kinda have to know when they are cooked; they really should not take anymore than 4-5 minutes. I hope you figured it out and thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it. Have a great weekend coming up. Xo
Can I try the salt fish cake mixture in an air fryer? say like the Ninja Foodi?
No it's to wet of a batter
What is adobo?
Adobo is a all purpose seasoning, I usually use that in place of salt when seasoning meats. Not sure what area you are from but you would find it in the Spanish isle with seasonings. And of course it is optional. Thanks so much for watching.
@@EverythingPaulette thank you for getting back to me. I live in the UK
I managed to work out marjoram is what we call oregano. I look forward to giving this recipe a go! :)
@@iscelynrichards5446 Wonderful!!! Yes I strongly recommend marjoram/oregano. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon again and please share!!
What difference does the potatoes make?
Hello Kelisha, it gives a little different texture and taste, just a matter of preference. Thanks for watching!!
Hi, can you please send me some of those fish cakes, They look so appetizing, mum mum mum,
Aaaawe anything for you Aunt Syl, hopefully soon, either here or there. Xoxoxo
Where can I see the list of ingredients and directions - on a web site?. Trying to listen and write is too stressful for older people. Thanks (lol).
Hello Good Morning!!! Ok so what you need to do is open the video like you are watching the video again, tap on the video to pause it, then under the video you will see "Show More" click on that and scroll down till you see the recipe. I hope that helps and thank you so much for watching; I do understand what you mean, lol. Have a blessed day.
The famous fish cakes!

This is as close to my Bajan grandma’s recipe as I’ve ever found (she passed before giving us the recipe). She didn’t add cloves though. It is an obvious flavor or does it just enhance the other ingredients?
Hello Gloria and welcome!! I happen to be on the computer doing a little catchup because we lost power and internet for a coupe days due to the storm. I am so happy it is close to your grandma's that means that I am doing something right, lol. The good thing about recipes is that you can always tweak to your likings, I only started adding the clove recently because I had them from someone that used the clove and I really like the added flavor. The trick is not to put too much in to over power, just that you can taste it. Thank you so much for stopping by, I appreciate it. Have a blessed weekend. Xo
Barely doing some fish cakes in d morning
Hello Latoya, thank you so much for watching!! and enjoy your fishcakes.

Thank you so much!!! I hope you meant "food" lol. Hope to see you soon.
