On The Menu Tonight – Cod Cakes! The last time I tried making this dish, the fish I bought wasn’t good. I found a new source and I inspected the fish a LOT closer this time. The mix is totally on point. It took three different cooking methods to find the perfect way – baking. I tried deep frying, pan frying, and baking. While this definitely isn’t a quick meal to make, it sure is delicious. I’m sad I that I haven’t tried making Cod Cakes sooner – they are SOOOOO GOOOD!
