Don't you hate when that happens?

I happen to LIKE salmon cakes. It's one of my what-the-heck-can-I-make-for-supper standbys. I used red sockeye canned -( a fresh fillet gets the poaching sentence.) Someone mentioned the price, but you can't eat out for less, even at a fast food chain, I bet.

My mother used to made salmon pie in a double crust a few times in the winter - being a kid, I had to smother it with ketchup, but she didn't mind - it got the fish into me.

Probably back when Roosevelt said "a chicken in every pot". I dunno
what the price of veal vs the price of chicken was back then, because
I wasn't even a gleam in my father's eye when that was said.

I'm guessing that chicken and veal were relatively inexpensive
compared to beef in the 1950's We seldom had beef pot roast in the
50's -- actually can't remember it. On Sundays we either had a
chicken or my mom would roast veal and pork together. I thought that
was my mom's oddity, but recently saw a recipe for same in Penzey's
magazine from the author. Since the mag comes out of Milwaukee, I am
assuming it might be a Wisconsin thing. We had chicken a lot and
halibut. I can remember going to A&P with my mother, standing at the
meat counter while she asked the butcher for halibut that was $.19 per
pound. Too bad I learned to love halibut since halibut is now $19.00
per pound.

Sounds like my mother;s recipe: an of salmon, about 12 crumbled-up crackers
and 2 eggs. I made them that way for many many years. Not bad.

I cut them into about 1" squares and freeze them. Works for me.

I don't use them enough in cooking to be bothered buying, cutting and
freezing them. But thanks for the suggestion.

Mother would also separate the soft bones from canned salmon and let us
nibble on them. We loved that!

FYI y'all, it's Pacific salmon season once again. Commercial fishing
will be allowed starting May 1st. If your lucky you'll be able to
start looking for them to show up on your local store shelves.

Me, they are showing up at the local farmer's markets. Grilled me up
some fresh salmon steaks last weekend.

Thinking of going out and catching a couple. Anyone want to join ?
Half Moon Bay is my preference.

Most likely not since I'm on the Atlantic coast.

Congrats! I refuse to pay the prices for Pacific salmon steaks or
fillets. I sure wouldn't use them to make salmon patties/fish
cakes/croquettes.

"Atlantic Salmon" is an alias for "Farmed".

Note how wide/fat the muscle layers are when compared to their wild
cousins.

I think most people know this by now.

And yes, the milk of kindness does not come from a teat.

The fact remains that that's how groceries refer to it.

You have someone in your pocket? Who's this "we" you are referring to?
