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!

I could just stare at these cod cakes but would prefer to eat them! Thanks for the link back to your yuca post - I've seen the raw root but will be on the lookout for the frozen one since you note that it may be easier to cook/come out more tender.

Cod is definitely my favorite fish. It's got the best texture. These cakes look so yummy. I'm drooling. 🙂
Ruth
These look so good, I am tempted to try them even without the yucca. Impossible for me to get it here but still all the other flavours just seem to blend in so well!
Kim
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.

YUM! I LOVE yuca but have only had it a couple times in my life! What a great reminder! 🙂
Erica
Thank you everyone!
my boyfriend cooks for me
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!
Lyndsey
These look beautiful! I've used yucca when I made salmon cakes before and I really like it. Your recipe sounds wonderful and I am definitly going to make it!

Now this is something I could wrap my mind, and my lips around!

Fish cakes using cassava, ....... Cassava is used back home in maldives too but as a desert first time seeing it used for savory dish.
Erica
Thank you all! I truly appreciate your comments 🙂
Joanne
Whoa. I just realized how long its been since I've had yucca. Definitely need to change that.
I love the sound of these fish cakes! Way better than any I've ever seen so far.

SE VE DELICIOSO , ME GUSTARIA PREGUNTARLE SI LO HIZO CON ATUN Y COMO CREE QUE QUEDARIA SI NO LO HIZO UN SALUDO
Erica
Carmen- Tengo otra receta de torticas de atun que voy a publicar la otra semana. Pero puedes hacer estas con atun tambien.

Scrumptious cakes - the combo of cod and yuca sounds fantastic!
Ivy
I love cod but yuka is out of the question as it is not found here in Greece. May try this with potatoes.
Erica
Thank you for visiting!
Karen
Mmm! My mom used to make cod cakes. I haven't had them in way too many years! Delicious 🙂
Noni
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.
Taste Traveller
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.
Olga
Really good recipe. I think I am going to try it
Candy
Tengo un paquete de yuca guayada congelada y necesito una receta que no sea de pasteles o alcapurias....pense que tal vez pueda ser pastelon, o como puedo cocinar la yuca cruda molida congelada.....me gusta mucho experimentar con recetas....pero esta vez quiero ir a la segura....gracias
Maria Carolina
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!
Erica
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
Ligea Alexander
how did you cook your cod to prepare it for this dish?
