Squid cakes can be easy to make - and their coloring can resemble sweetbreads. Some squid cakes are a combination of squid and flaked fish. Many are seasoned with herbs.

You can buy frozen squid and make your own. You can make your own "steaks" (filets) as well. Pound lightly and bread if you want. They do not have a fishy taste.

I'd still like a recipe, if you have one Mama.

With squid we follow the 2/20 rule. They are either cooked for less than two minutes or more than 20. So I'm trying to see how that works with something like cakes; particularly if mixed with a flaked fish.

Generally speaking, if I'm not frying squid as calamari, I either use it in a salad, or stuff them and either bake or grill.

Yeah! MamaM you called it, I'll bet these were made at the store and sold. We loved them and they did not have a fishy taste, to echo KYH please can you expand on the recipe to make these.
They were a snap and once breaded you only pan-fried them in butter for a few min's and oh were they tender and tasty, did not need anythnig else they just tasted so good salted/peppered and that was it! I'd love to know how to make them.

P.S. Tonight I am making a recipe that I found in a cookbook (the one that got stolen from me) and it is called "Cod Yukongold au Gratin" if it turns out good I will share it tomorrow. I sort of remember the recipe, just not exactly, but I am sure I will get it! I have had potatoes au gratin with ham or sausage but never even dawned on me to use fish in it.

For so many things I just do not measure. Adding flaked fish to squid is basically done as part filler as well - portion as you like - season with salt, pepper, or you can use Old Bay, dill, etc. depending on just what kind of a flavor you are looking for. Sometimes salt and pepper is best - because the flavor is delicate. You can make them as you would salmon patties with egg and bread crumbs. It's up to you how you want to make them. Cook time is so minimal with these - you can't overcook unless you want to ruin them. This can also make a good stuffing for other fish - that is if you like stuffed fish.

Thank you MamaM,
No need to worry about measurements!
