Growing up we had fish sticks or fish cakes for Friday dinner. Unfortunately they were always out of a box… no disrespect to the Mrs. Paul’s or the Gorton’s companies, it’s just I want a homemade and healthy version of my childhood classic, which is what inspired me to make this dish. These are can be impressive appetizers or an easy weeknight dinner.
If you are making this dish for a dinner party or family celebration you can make it ahead of time and just pop it into a preheated oven when you are ready. Express Your Love Through Your Food!

In Food Processor — Cut Cod into 4-6 pieces, add to bowl, add shrimp whole, add mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, anchovy paste, oregano, lemon zest, parsley, thyme and dill. Add salt and pepper. Pulse 15-20 times until the mixture is combined but still slightly chunky.
Place flour in a bowl and coat your hands. Take ¼ cup of mixture and form into patties. Coating with flour as needed. Mixture will make 6 patties. Place on a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
In a large skillet moderate high heat vegetable oil until shimmering. Cook one side until golden brown, carefully flip and brown other side. Remove from pan and place on baking sheet or oven proof pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes. I served with sautéed green beans.
These Shrimp and Cod Cakes freeze very well!
