Serves 6 Hearty Appetites
Ingredients:
1½ to 2 pounds salted cod
3 Tbsp butter ( and extra for serving with meal )
4 cups whole milk or evaporated milk
1 medium chopped onion
½ cup vegetable broth from boiled potatoes
4 to 5 tbsp flour ( cornstarch if needed )
½ tsp pepper
Method:
Soak salted cod for 4 hours (change water twice).
Bring cod to a simmer NOT BOIL for 2 to 3 minutes - drain water - bring to simmer again 2 to 3 minutes.
Flake cod (it will separate naturally). REMOVE ANY SILVER SKIN and bones.
In large frying pan sauté medium onion that has been finely chopped with butter until very soft. Then add whole milk or evaporated milk to the pot, except 1 cup.
Bring milk/butter/onion mixture to a simmer. Add fresh ground black or white pepper to taste. Add flaked codfish.
In a bowl or mason jar, add 4 or 5 tablespoons of flour to the remaining 1 cup of milk and whisk together to get a thick creamy thickening agent (or rue).
Slowly pour the rue into the simmering pot while stirring. Stir until desired consistency.
If finished creamed codfish appears to thick - add a little more milk to regain desired
consistency, or vegetable broth from potatoes.
Serve with boiled potatoes.
Bonita’s Tips:
Spoon over boiled potatoes and top with a pat of butter.
Sprinkle with COLMAN’S DRY MUSTARD for TRADITIONAL flavour.
I apologize in advance if anything in this video is not clear or miss read, please follow my recipe when making this dish.

Looks delicious. Never heard of creamed cod. This is a must try.
Hi, Bonita. I make this cream sauce whenever I have salt fish with brewis or potatoes. I don't put the cod in the sauce but that is a great idea.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your day!
You are welcome Anita, I'm glad to help and enjoy. Thank you for your message. Bonita
Looks sooooo delicious 😋
This is indeed a lovely recipe and very tasty....you can make it with fresh cod and cook the cod in extra sea salt to add the extra salt flavour. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by.... :) Bonita
I love the super potatoes and I also like it over white toast. I’ve never tried it with the Colemans mustard, but I have had it with tarragon or a little bit of lemon zest. I am certainly going to try Chris’s version soon.
Nice! This is so taste and a keeper for sure, I love family recipes and sharing them for everyone to enjoy.....this would be lovely over white toast. Oh my I can't wait to make this again. :) Enjoy and thank you :) Bonita
I just thawed off the salt cod. And I think I have a mild 'net crush. Also.... clean cheffie. Mine all look like crime scenes.
I cannot wait to make this. I love salted cod but only make fish cakes or Italian bacala..so, this will be another way to use the fish! Thanks Bonita. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
You are very welcome and I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe and our video, we have a few recipes on our channel for salted cod. Fish and Brewis, plus I have the recipe and video for Hard Bread for that meal, super easy to make. I've never had Italian Bacala before I must check it out, we do have a Fish Cake recipe and video, plus Seafood Chowder you can use salted cod or fresh. Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, enjoy. Bonita
Looks yummy!
Thank you Patricia, this recipe was given to us by one of our viewers. It is so delicious and interesting at the same time, I love traditions and anything cod. :) Enjoy and thank you for your message. Bonita
This looks wonderful and simple enough I may even give it a go. One of my late father's favorites was Creamed Finnan Haddie. I believe it came to the New World from Scotland and was popular in Canada and New England and probably anywhere the sea was a food source. I've never seen a recipe that hasn't tried to make it "haute cuisine" with fresh haddock fillets and liquid smoke [Lord, save us]. Have you ever made it? I'm sure your approach would be the closest to how it should be done. Thank you for all your hard work and no-nonsense approach to what should not be all that mysterious!
jayplays Thank you for your message and for stopping by, like I can remember hearing about this recipe before and it may be called something different here in Newfoundland Canada. Of Course we live on a Island here in Newfoundland and it's all about seafood, our back ground is Irish decent. This recipe is so good and anything with salted fish in it I'm all in for sure, but even fresh haddock would be nice in this with a pinch of sea salt to give its that salted taste. Thank you for your message again and have a wonderful day. :) Bonita
Of course i need to see more lol thank you
I love sharing anything cod, thanks for stopping by. :) Bonita
Like Anita, mom use to make this with fish and brewis and potatoes and of course scrunchins in the sauce. Will have to make it with the mustard powder on top!! Thanks Chris for sending this in.
That is lovely, it looked like a meal we had as well but I can't remember what it was called. So its really nice when we get a recipe for cod that makes us all want to make it. Enjoy Bonita
Looks delicious
Thank you :) Bonita
Happy Mother’s Day Bonita, looks delicious ☺️
Thank you Robin and I'm glad you enjoy this one for sure. Enjoy Bonita
My mother used to make something like this many many years ago but I recall peas in it!
Ok that sounds very interesting, thank you Irene for sharing that with us and for stopping by. Enjoy Bonita
Your video was so amazing and informative. We have been looking into how salt cod is prepared and used in cooking. This recipe looks delicious and I just want a big spoonful LOL! Yummy!!
That is so wonderful, I'm glad you enjoyed it and salted cod is amazing and can me used in so many different dishes. This recipe was given to us from one of our viewers and its tasty. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
Looks good
Thank you Kenny, it is really good and not a lot of work. Enjoy Bonita
We used to have this all the time my Dad made it. We had it on mashed potatoes
Nice! That sounds lovely as well. Thank you Lori for stopping by and leaving a message. Enjoy Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I really Love your show keep up the Good Work! I'm from Minnesota and I cannot believe how many recipes from New found land I've had!
@@loriolson1143 Oh my thank you so much, I'm glad you are enjoying our channel and thank you for letting me know where you are watching from. Welcome and message anytime. :) Bonita
This is almost the same recipe I use for making creamed smoked black cod...I use local wild onions instead of store bought and I use farm fresh whole milk,everything else is the same right down to using dry mustard to spice it up when serving...Going to try your recipe out the next time I find salt cod in my local grocery store
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us and it is so nice to see all of these recipe being so similar. I'm glad to help enjoy....Bonita
Now that sounds so good i like COD AU Gratin can not spell been watching your videos i soaks mine salt fish over night
Hi Beverley: Thank you for your message and yes I have a cod au gratin recipe and video on here with a lovely cream sauce. But this one is different and it don't have cheese, soaking the salt fish over night is the best. Enjoy Bonita
old memories of growing up only we would have trout, and mom would add bits of bacon and peas to it. over potatoes or saltines either way it was really filling;];];];] great job again bonita;];];];]
Thank you Patty, I'm glad you enjoyed our video. Thank you for sharing with us your family recipe, so many different recipe for cod, I love it. Bonita
I don't eat fish but think this would be amazing with chicken instead. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jeffery: Now you are talking, thats whats so wonderful about any recipe we post. Make it you own and change out ingredients to suit your taste. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. :) Bonita
🙏🏻😊
Does the cod have to be salted? My grandma made this dish all the time. Absolutely my favorite 💖😍
No! You can use fresh fish and just salt the hot water when cooking it first. Then follow the recipe for all the other steps. Enjoy Bonita
I think ida mashed those potatoes. But - this sounds delicious.
Salt cod is scarce here in Ontario, but, I have recently sourced some and will be trying various things with it.
Thank you Wilf for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe for Creamed Codfish. This meal tastes amazing if you are a lover of salted cod or salted white fish of any type you will love this. You can use fresh cod or white fish and add sea salt while boiling it, but its something about salted dried cod fish that taste lovely in this meal. Enjoy :) Bonita
Just like my Italian mother made. Drove to Newfoundland from Syracuse, NY one year. Got off of the ferry and saw a sign in a restaurant for Dark Meat Special? What is it? Thanks
Thank you Frank for your message and I'm so glad our recipe brings back fond memories of your Mother. Here in Newfoundland and Labrador we have lots of small take out restaurants and I'm thinking that is for deep fried chicken and the special was for the dark meat chicken and I guess they think everyone would know that. :) I have a link here to our NL deep fried chicken if you wish to check it out, ua-cam.com/video/VwDBGXcH3As/v-deo.html :) Enjoy Bonita
Sorry about that didn’t mean to cause any troubles there even on tv with the waves and boats i have to walk away from that no more rocking chairs for me darn that right trying to keep up with you i missed a few i am sitting here knitting dishcloths. And socks while watching. Sunday is mom’s birthday she be 93 years old wow right i never reach that age. Lol thanks again girl
Thats ok we love to know these things, I got to walk away from the computer every so often because I work with them for so long it makes your eyes tired. My Aunt Clara makes those knitted dish cloths and it relaxes her she said. Oh my your Mom will be 93 what a blessing, please send our Birthday wishes to her and give her a hug for me. Beverley you could have your Mom jeans and live to be her age for sure. Thank you so much for all your support and messages. Enjoy your day :) god bless. Bonita
I just made this for dinner and it is a hit!! However that recipe Mackey quite a bit. Can I freeze the extra leftovers?
So sorry Pam I just seen your message and yes anytime you make this recipe you can put in a container and freeze for another meal. I'm glad you enjoy it. Happy Easter!! Bonita
Looks delicious! I don't always use the salted cod. I use fresh. Does the salted cod give it a different flavour? And I make my roux right in the pan. Flour into the fat, then add the milk. What you made is called a slurry. I'm craving this now. It's excellent with Samphire sautéed in butter and lemon on the side. Hope you had a lovely Mothers Day! xo
Thank you so much for stopping by, I had a wonderful day and thanks for asking. You can use fresh cod with this meal of course but salted cod got a different taste because of the aging process in the sea salt over time. Of course we soak all or most of the salt off in water, but you can still taste that flavour. This recipe was a viewers recipe from his family and I didn't want to change the ingredients out of respect for him and his family. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Thanks hon. I also liked the mustard powder in the end. Interesting!
I really miss the salt cod like I used to get in the grocery stores when I lived near the coast in New England. In the south and west it is virtually unknown.
Some old timers would refer to your dish as "scouse" or "lobscouse". I am sure you use the same names there, but maybe only for meat dishes and not for fish. Sometimes the sauce would be thickened with ship's biscuits, crackers or even bread, rather than flour.
Do you ever make "scootin' long the shore"? It is a simple potato, bacon and onion dish that may have a cream sauce.
Hi Brant: Thank you for your message, I have never heard of the recipe called " scootin" but it sounds like a lovely meal or side dish. I do have a recipe and video for LOBSCOUSE ua-cam.com/video/ejkjRvx7kYY/v-deo.html we did this video a couple of years ago, cabbage soup also called lobscouse. Enjoy Bonita
This recipe is very similar to the famous portuguese dish called Bachalhau de natas ( creamed codfish translated) ...just goole the recipes
The few difference is that in Portugal the dry salted codfish is soaked for 2-4 days not hours, then cooked in milk or water with bayleaf . The same milk with fish taste is used in a bechamel sauce made separate (flour and milk and cream ).
boiled or fried potates are added after the onions and then half the bechamel sauce .. then everything is put in a flat oven dish, the rest of beachame added and sprinkled with cheese and baked for 20 min in oven ... the rest is the same and I bet the taste very similar. have eaten this many times in Portugal and cooked it a few times I will try your dish to see how they compare
Hi Andy, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, that is so lovely we have a simular meal and I'm sure it taste amazing as well. Thank you for sharing that with us and have a wonderful day. Happy New Year...:) Bonita
🙋🏻👍🏻🌹
Thank you :) Bonita
Hi Bonita how can I make my one salted cod.?
Hi Peter: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, there are a couple types of salted cod and it is a process. Dry and wet, My dad would make it years ago and have it salting in buckets wth lids. After dry it on the flat rocks or wooden flacks. I don't have a recipe for that because it takes a long time to salt fish, but all they use is dry packed sea salt or course pickling salt and layer the fish fillets. I will see if I can get some info on the amount of salt and how long to keep it in the buckets before drying of freezing them. Bonita
Hi Peter: I will share with you my email address so you can send me yours, I will give you more information about how to make your own salted fish. bonitakitchen@gmail.com thank you :) Bonita
1 stick butter = 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup = 4 ounces/110g. = 1/4 pound
Hi and that you for stopping by, this is the recipe, I guess 8 tablespoons would be way to much and I did clarify it in this recipe below. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy. :) Bonita

3 Tbsp butter ( and extra for serving with meal )
4 cups whole milk or evaporated milk

Wow, check out that kitchen decor. Looks like four interior designers - one from the '50s, one from the '60s, one from the '70s, and one from the '80s - all dropped acid and worked on separate sections of the kitchen. The plastic table cloth is the icing on the cake. lol.
Haha you are the best.....I believe you hit the nail on its head. This is a old kitchen but we love it, we also have on the other side a retro kitchen decor with a green fridge and checker table and yellow chairs.......so adorable.

Are you married? lol. My wife gets sick if I even discuss my family breakfast grand cuisine. I Love CCF . The rue: I melt the butter- or oil (less fat) to warm, then stir in the flower until it browns. (1 TBS) I then add skim 6oz. (for one serving) to simmer carefully- add one egg beaten, and the cod, rinsed thrice with still a hint of the salt. Stir while the toast pops, Whip it to me! fresh cod does not seem to work. Thanks!
Haha yes Dave I'm married for almost 40 years! Thank you so much for stopping by and I'm glad you make and enjoy CCF it is indeed a wonderful meal anytime. My Dad would have salted cod for breakfast many times over the years. I guess grown up here in NL that was the thing to do!! Have a lovely day...:) Bonita
