HUNGRY GERALD

HG has always been fond of fish cakes. The affection began some 82 years ago in Rockaway Park (parents leased a spartan apartment there for the summer–close to the Atlantic and a crowded beach). HG worked as a stock loader (heavy work schlepping big boxes from trucks) at a Woolworth store. Lunch at the store counter: Fish cakes and tomato sauce spaghetti. Loved it. Best fish cakes ever were served (many, many years later ) at the Downy Flake cafe in Nantucket (HG/BSK had a summer home there for some years). They were served with egg sauce.  Spectacular!!  Most store bought fish cakes are inferior—not enough  fish in the mix. BSK and children, Lesley and Jeremy, make outstanding fish cakes. However, the fish cakes sold at Fearless Fish Seafood in Providence are quite good. They are made with Hake and the amount of fish in the cakes is generous. HG\BSK had them for supper last  night in HG/BSK’s Central Falls loft with an abundance of PEI mustard pickle. Pleasant meal.
