  1. I wanted to love these. Trying to replicate a beloved recipe from my childhood ... actually codfish cakes from Kresge's five & dime. Maybe I soaked the fish too long, and then I didn't taste it when I was flaking it, but the finished balls were totally tasteless (but quite lovely). I dumped a bunch of Old Bay on them while they were still hot, but they are not going to the potluck tonight ... I'll have them for my lunches ... since this is the first time I worked with salt cod, I'm sure this was "operator error."
