When I was a boy growing up in the Bronx, I would often stay at my Aunt Gloria and Uncle Mike’s apartment when I got home from school until my mom got home from work. They lived on the ground floor of the same apartment building that my family lived in. My Grandpa Corbin lived with them. It was a wonderful neighborhood of many different nationalities and many wonderful cooking smells! Sometimes when turning the corner to our block, I would be greeted by the unmistakable aroma of Grandpa’s Codfish Cakes! Once, being the little chubby piggy kid that I was I ate the last two Codfish cakes from the day before. Aunt Gloria quickly scooted me outside to play, but I could hear Grandpa yell “Who ate the last codfish cakes!!” After he cooled off – Grandpa had a temper – I apologized, but I could tell he was still pretty angry. Not long after, I turned the corner to the smell of Codfish Cakes! There sat Grandpa with a glint in his eye. “I made these codfish cakes the way I really like them! It might keep you from eating them all!” He handed me one with a smile on his face. I took a bite and thought my head might explode! But I think that started my love of hot foods! I finished and asked for another through the tears. He laughed and handed me another – this one wasn’t quite so hot – I do think the first one was specially made just for me. Over the years I tried to duplicate Grandpa’s Cod Fishcakes – without any success – thinking it was an English recipe. It wasn’t until I found out that Grandpa Corbin was born in Barbados and I found a recipe from there that tasted almost like I remembered. With some adjustments over the years, I think I finally have it! -- posted by Billy R.
