There are a lot of recipes for cod fish cakes, some better than others. I have tried a few made with potatoes that I like, but my grandmother used to make cod fish cakes with yuca, and they are definately my favorites ones. They have great texture and a wonderful taste.
This is the recipe for my grandmother's Cod Fish and Yuca Cakes. Enjoy!

These look so good, I am tempted to try them even without the yucca. Impossible for me to get it here but still all the other flavours just seem to blend in so well!

Cod is definitely my favorite fish. It's got the best texture. These cakes look so yummy. I'm drooling. 🙂

I could just stare at these cod cakes but would prefer to eat them! Thanks for the link back to your yuca post - I've seen the raw root but will be on the lookout for the frozen one since you note that it may be easier to cook/come out more tender.
