Fish Fritters

 Once again, this recipe has beautiful ancient script handwriting that has to be Baba or even her mother, and is another recipe without measurements or proportions. All the fish recipes, including the upcoming "famous" ones come directly from the Sewall side of the family. Marcia Sewall (aka Baba) and her mother Marcia are both descended from the Sewall ship builders on the shores of Merrymeeting Bay in Bath, Maine. Somewhere along the way, they moved to CT and established Merrymeeting Farm in Stonington, CT. This blog is named after the farm and the bay. Stonington is where we were married (on Elihu Island), where Hi-Ho is buried, where my parents were married and where my father currently resides.

Ingredients

Cold cooked fish

mashed potatoes

1 egg beaten

1. Pound the fish and add peeled onion (I can only assume and chopped!) and pound with the fish. 

2. Add salt and pepper. 

3. Add equal bulk (as fish) mashed potatoes. 

4. Mix and make into paste with egg. 

5. Roll the mixture. 

6. Cur in pieces 3 inches across.
