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!

how did you cook your cod to prepare it for this dish?

This may sound nuts but can I substitute heavy cream with sour cream. I am trying to cut down on cholesterol big time.
Many Thanks

I made these tonight for dinner and they were a hit! I'm paleo so I subbed the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk, the bread crumbs for almond flour, and used fresh poached trout instead of cod since that was all I had. Even my fish-hating father loved them! The yucca makes them crispy on the inside yet still soft, creamy, and delicious on the inside. This is will be my go-to fish cake recipe from now on. Muchas gracias Erica, la receta estuvo deliciosa!

Ooh! These look just like the ones my parents used to make. I can just imagine right now how they must taste. I think they used salted cod - there was always a fair amount of that in the house.

Yummy! I have never thought to combine cod with yucca to create such a delicious fish cake but I am certain to make these! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for visiting!

I love cod but yuka is out of the question as it is not found here in Greece. May try this with potatoes.
