Irish Fish Cakes and the Weekly Menu #FishFridayFoodies

These Irish Fish Cakes, starting with leftovers, are delicious.  Should you not have leftover mashed potatoes and/or Cod Fillet you will want to make some just to enjoy this dish.

The Fish Friday Foodies are Celebrating Ireland today.....

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that this will be the final Fish Friday Foodie event.  I started this group seven years ago and it was very well received and a great success.  It is not surprising that after all this time our membership has gone down.  Many of the original members are no longer blogging and those that remain have run out of fresh ideas for themes to host.  It was a great run and I made a lot of wonderful friends that I know will be joining in new adventures with me.

This month I asked them to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Seafood and Fish in place of Corned Beef and Cabbage.  Let's see what everyone brought to the party.......

• Food Lust People Love serves up Ballymaloe Potted Shrimp
• Sid’s Sea Palm Cooking shares Boxty with Smoked Salmon 
• Karen’s Kitchen Stories made Cod Soup 
• Sneha’s Recipe has  Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)
• Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice cooked up Fish & Potato Chowder with Irish Whiskey 
• A Day in the Life on the Farm is serving Irish Fish Cakes

There are many reasons why I decided to choose this theme and share this recipe with you today but the most important is because as a Catholic during Lent we don't eat meat on Fridays not even Corned Beef on St. Pat's Day.  So instead I thought that I would look for Irish Seafood and Fish recipes that can be served up for dinner today instead.

We normally go out to a Fish Fry on Friday's during Lent but tonight we are going to a Celtic St. Patrick's Celebration at our local theater so have invited our friend John and Frank's siblings to join us, starting with dinner here.  Our sister in law is not a fish/seafood lover so I am making a hearty Ribollita and some Mac and Cheese to accompany our fish.

Tomorrow, we are having the Angel Face for the day as her parents are working.  They will join us for dinner when they pick her up.  On Wednesday I am going to visit my friend, Sister Maryann.  She lives nearly 3 hours away so we will have lunch with her and then stop on the way home for dinner.

So here is the Weekly Menu under which you will find the recipe for these scrumptious fish cakes.
