Hartelijke groeten uit California Michel! You are correct Michel that many countries claim fish cakes as their own, including Bermuda where we had codfish cakes, but each country's recipe is a bit different. In the mid fifties living in Surinam, salted codfish was survival food, but now it is a bit expensive. Axel
