Seafood Delights

This page titled “Easy Seafood Recipe.” offers two straightforward, old-school dishes that evoke the comfort of home-cooked meals from yesteryear: Cod Fish Gravy with Baked Potatoes and Oyster Sausages.

The first recipe, “Cod Fish Gravey and Bake Potatoes” calls for basic pantry staples like a pound of salt cod fish, butter, flour, milk, and a handful of medium potatoes. The process is delightfully simple: Bake the potatoes at 375°F for an hour while preparing the cod by boiling and draining it multiple times to reduce saltiness. Then, create a creamy gravy by melting butter, stirring in flour and milk until thickened, and finishing with a lightly stirred egg for extra richness. Served over split baked potatoes, this hearty dish promises to feed eight people with minimal fuss—perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.

The “Oyster Sausages” recipe transforms a half-pint of ground oysters and lean veal into savory patties. Mixed with cracker crumbs and beaten eggs, these are formed and fried slowly in shortening like Crisco for a crispy exterior. It’s a quick, inventive way to enjoy oysters beyond the usual stew or raw preparations, appealing to seafood lovers seeking something fried and flavorful.

If you’re in the mood for easy, budget-friendly seafood with a vintage twist, give these recipes a try.
