CAPTAIN DUARTE'S SALT COD CAKES
Based on my father-in-laws recipe, these fish cakes use salt cod. Trust me, it is worth the effort to find the salt cod. The slight saltiness of the cod brings out a whole new dimension of flavor. Who knows fish better than a Portuguese fishing Capt? Even Emeril would be proud! Serve with a good tartar sauce.

Steps:
- Place the salt cod into a bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for 8 hours. Pour off the water and replace with fresh water every 2 hours. After the fish has soaked for 8 hours, rinse in cold water, and cut into 3-inch sections.
- Place the cod and potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the cod flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Place the potatoes and cod into a mixing bowl. Season with the seafood seasoning, pepper, and parsley; roughly mash with a potato masher. Stir in the eggs and onion until evenly combined. There should still be pieces of cod and potato in the mixture. Form into golf ball-sized pieces, and roll in the flour. Press between your palms to flatten slightly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cod cakes in batches until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

BOLINOS DE BACALHAU (PORTUGUESE COD CAKES)
Steps:
- A day or two before making the fish cakes, put the cod to soak in cold water. Change the water four or five times during this period.
- Drain the cod and rinse it well under cold running water. Cover with fresh water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until cod is soft.
- While the cod is simmering, cook the potatoes in their skins, then peel and mash with butter and milk.
- When the cod is ready, drain it thoroughly and remove the skin and bones. Shred the cod with a couple of forks. Add the creamed potatoes, parsley, mint, pepper, egg yolks, and the port. Mix thoroughly. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the cod mixture.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy deep pot to 375 degrees F.
- Take a lump of the mixture, about the size of a small egg, and mold it in your hand to make a torpedo shape. Deep fry, in small batches, until crisp and brown all over. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

- Soak the dried salted cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soaked cod, and boil for about 5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove cod from water, and save water for cooking potatoes. Remove skin and bones from the cod, and flake the meat into pieces using a fork. Set fish aside in a large bowl.

Steps:
- Rinse the salt off of the cod fish. Cover cod with cold water and soak for 24 hours, changing water two or three times. Drain off water. In a saucepan, cover cod with cold water; bring just to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, and when cool enough to handle, remove any skin and bones, then shred.
- In a saucepan, boil the peeled potatoes in salted water with 2 garlic cloves and hot pepper flakes just until tender. Drain and mash.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients until well mixed using a hand mixer on low. Start with using 4 eggs, but if the mixture is too dry, add another egg, one at a time (see picture).
- Heat frying pan and add a bit of oil. Form a small patty and cook on medium heat. When bottom has colour, flip and finish cooking.
- Taste the cake, and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. If the patty doesn't hold together, you may need to add an additional egg.
- Continue making the cakes, stirring the mixture often, adding oil as needed. Drain the cakes on paper towels.
- Cakes can be served hot or at room temperature.
- Note: The pimento paste is available in the international section of a store.

- Place a medium pan with water over high heat and bring it to a boil, then add the cod pieces and let it simmer for approximately 8 minutes.
- Drain it and keep the water in the pan, use it to boil the potatoes whole with its skin, the cod water will bring more flavour to the potatoes and the skin will protect it from absorbing water in excess.
- In the meantime let's shred the cod. Our favourite way of doing so it´s to place the fish over two layers of clean cloths, wrap it and start squeezing and pounding it, kind of like kneading bread dough. Trust me, this will meticulously shred the fish and drain any left over juices.
