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 wonderful. I've never tried yuca before, but it seems right up my alley...and if I can put it with fish and cilantro, there's absolutely nothing not to like!

I haven't had the opportunity to try yuca yet, but I would really love to find some locally. These cakes look so crispy on the outside, yet creamy and delicious on the inside.
