Note:use nori for a vegetarian option 

Yes, it's true: Captain Nemora is still runnin' on Island Time--or as much as possible on my daze off.
Here we have another adapted recipe from Ann Vanderhoof's Caribbean travel/receta books. Instead of saltfish, we use salmon. Canned: ok. And, add flaxseed meal to the mix = DOUBLE OMEGA 3'S!a vegetarian take on this: use chopped Nori. ALL: very good, muy bueno and good eating!
...Ohhh...when you smell dis cook, mon...it's a pretty thing too: opens into a red/green pepper mix,
Makes 10-15 incredible edible fishcakes.

...a wee footnote from the Capt'n...
CHILIES CHILIES CHILES!
now that the dog-end of the dog-days of summer are upon us, i find i enjoy abitof heat now and then!dog-nose! there is a hot pepper from the Yucatan:Xnipek: dogs nose. (dogs noses r wet, no? ah, a running nose & eyes and a tangy bite on the tongue, chilie peppers in summer. which brings us to:
'Chasing Chilies' and xcellent new (2011) bk out by 3 chilie aficionados who chase the elusive endangered chilies of America from Maryland (fish peppers anyone?) thru Louisiana (aforemention'd Tabasco of course) and down into Sonora and Yucatan (habaneros, etc). Fascinating book, with great recipes! Inspired me to make:
a Chilie Oil (w/raw and sauteed garlic, New Mexico Chilies and cayenne), Chilie Sauce (same ingreds + cilantro, celery, onion, cumin, oregano, & abit of tomato) and a sortof Chilie Colorado only w/chicken, okra, mustard greens, corn and tomato sauce...umm humm.
That recipe coming on up -- next time!
!PS Habaneros a cure for arthritis? Just possibly!Stay tuned!
