Salmon was a staple at our house growing up. Always had mashed potatoes with ours. Mom always rolled hers in corn meal before frying (in lard). What can I say…we were from the country! I use oil to fry, and I take out the bones and skin. I’ve never had a recipe to follow but I’m trying this one soon. My son is 31 and loved his Mamaw’s salmon!

i make them like my mama. we use approx 1/3 self rising flour and an egg per each can of salmon. i put salt, pepper ( or a little lemon pepper) in them. the sr flour gives them a rise.

When I was little, mama made these almost every Thursday. I thought it was such a treat. Years later, I learned that this was because grocery money had probably run out on the day before payday and canned salmon (stocked up “on sale”) was CHEAP!

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! My little neighbor gives me cans of salmon (given to her by her church) and I had never made salmon patties…so I made them from your recipe and gave her some and she loved them as well as we did. She still gives me all the salmon she recieves BUT when I make them again I have to make her one too. LOL. Thanks for the recipe..yummy.

One of the senior ladies at our church told me she always made them with cream gravy and her boys just lapped them up.

My mother made these when I was a kid too, and sometimes used mackerel instead of salmon, if that was what was on sale. Once my younger brother asked what was for supper, and mom answered, “croquettes”. He was only about 4 at the time, and his expression was truly horrified!!! He exclaimed “I don’t want to eat old cats!!!” So of course to this day, that’s what we call them. Old cats with plenty of ketchup and some mashed potatoes or mac and cheese
