Being born and bred in Newfoundland, I thought I would post the
 traditional Newfoundland recipe for fish cakes.  These are absolutely
 delicious.  There aren't any exact measurements.  
 What you need for these fish cakes is:
 Potatoes
 Fat Pork
 Salt Cod Fillets
 Onion
 Butter
 Flour
 The night before (or the morning of the day you're going to cook
 depending how salty you like your fish cakes) put two salt cod
 fillets in water to soak.  Peel, boil (in salted water) and mash
 about 10 potatoes (medium size) with a little bit of margarine and
 pepper.  Cut fat pork in 1/4" squares and fry until crispy.  Flake
 fish from skin making sure you have no bones in it.  Chop medium
 onion finely.
 Mix all ingredients together except for flour.  Pat spoonfuls of
 mixture into 1" thick cakes.  Coat individual cakes with flour and
 fry in oil or bake in 350f degree oven until golden brown.  These
 aren't low fat by no means but they are delicious.  Try serving
 them with drawn butter (onion, butter, pepper boiled together and
 thickened with flour). This recipe makes enough for myself and my
 husband and then I freeze some.
