Codfish Cakes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove bones and skin from the codfish, and cut it into pieces the size of your two fingers.

  2. Cover the fish with cold water and bring it slowly to a boil.

  3. Drain the water, add more cold water, and heat again. Repeat this process two or three times until the salt is out.

  4. For the last boiling, use just enough water to cover the fish and keep the pot tightly closed.
