[Wiriwiri]

Made these earlier today.. Ingredients :flaked salted cod/potatoes/ parsley/thyme/scallion/onions and a bit of pepper,deep fried.My mom made these regularly.Found in your fav. Portuguese restaurant among others.
Fish needs soaking & frequent h20 changes d/t nacl.Tasty finger food..and a nice break from meat

my wife is portuguese and makes these frequently. everyone that tastes them loves them. she also makes them with shrimp instead of bacalhau(salted cod).

i have to add that this site is amazing in that it`s a pepper forum but things like this post shows up. the two spoons shows how authentic this recipe is. the cakes are formed with 2 spoons.

Haven't had in so long. Maybe I'll make some. Bodegas here usually carry the whole filet. If not there's amazon! https://amzn.to/2R5KZLR

It's good party finger food, they go well with drinks. I have made the ones with shrimp but this is my favorite.
Have to do the spoon thingy as that makes them uniform/neat/compact.
 
When I lived in NYC i found them in some hole in the wall places in upper Manhattan, some of the Dominican
or Brazilian places had them,similar type food.
 
Hope Pookie makes some in his new kitchen. Stop & Shop sell the salted cod,other places near me sells salted pollock,
not a good substitute IMO.
