My hubby is extremely picky about the type of seafood he eats. Prior to meeting me he didn’t touch the stuff and he wouldn’t go near sushi. I remember once when we were dating, he picked up a free sample while we were grocery shopping, ate it without thinking and he nearly spat it out. It turns out it was seaweed snacks and he could not bear the taste. Nowadays, I’ve converted him to eat a lot of different seafood. He still won’t touch anything that is too fishy but for the most part, he will eat without complaint except for leftover fish. He never touches that. That brings me to these cod cakes. You can form them smaller and make cakes which I like to eat with a salad or bigger and turn them into burgers. I was actually shocked to find that my hubby ate all the leftovers so I can say that they are pretty darn good for him to do that!
