The Savvy Sailor’s Salt Cod Cakes

These scrumptious cod cakes take some planning, but they're truly worth the wait. The most important part of making cod cakes is to make sure you really rinse the salt off the cod, so be sure and soak the dried fish overnight in the fridge. For a classic dish, serve your cod cake with rhubarb raisin relish.
