Did any of you eat these salmon patties?

[Judycat]

I've never had a salmon pattie.

 

[PamfromTx]

Yes, my mother cooked salmon patties and so do I...never knew it was for the poverty stricken..lol

They were handed out with a bag of groceries for those in need of food. Can't think of the name. So many years ago.

 

[PamfromTx]

I did not know salmon patties can come in a can!
I make my own and just love them - canned salmon mixed with egg and lots of herbs and fried, yum! a cucumber salad and that's a nice lunch dish!

I'm picturing the patties in a can, @Shero. Thanks for the laugh.

Lol I was wondering how they fitted them in Pam - guess today is my stupid day

Wow, this is going to the post of the day.

You are not stupid, dear friend. You made me LOL really loud though.... as I visualized those patties in a can.

Good on you Pam

We have them three or four times a year. My wife will only use good canned Pacific red (sockeye) salmon, preferably from Alaska. I like them with just a little bit of Italian salad dressing on them. They're a terrific source of omega-3 fatty acids.

I don't think of them as an inexpensive meal, but then I haven't been grocery shopping in quite a while.

This thread reminded me of canned salmon chowder.

It was an emergency shelf meal made with canned salmon, evaporated milk, canned corn, potato, onion, S&P, etc...

That wasn’t bad after coming in from a cold day of sledding.

 

[Della]

Yes, I get the small can for myself.

Me, too. I drain it and dump the whole thing on top of a big salad, cover it in Ranch and call it a healthy lunch!

 

[Liberty]

Yep, only use the sockeye skinless, boneless version and really jazz it up good with panko bread crumbs, herbs and spices, though.

 

[StarSong]

No on canned salmon being made into patties - as a child or an adult.

I was very fortunate that my parents always had sufficient money to buy high quality food including a lot of fresh fish and shellfish.

My mother rarely fried anything - as a consequence I've almost never made fried food. Same with my daughter.

 

[Judycat]

@Shero, I used to get ham patties in a can. Hormel made them not too bad with swiss cheese.

 

[oldpop]

I do not like canned salmon much but it can be surprising what one may eat when hungry. Ever eat Opossum?

 

[tortiecat]

Yes, used canned salmon many times. In sandwiches and as creamed
salmon on toast. Haven't had it for years, would prefer fresh salmon.

Nope. Hope to never be that hungry.

If you made yours the way you do, Shero, and then, had a nicely designed cutter to fit them into cans, I would definitely buy them!

 

[AnnieA]

I've eaten them but prefer the canned tuna ones made the same way. It was a quick supper during my childhood and since I started cooking those suppers at 13 out of necessity, I made them a lot.

Nope but am sure ancestors did.

 

[Alligatorob]

Ever eat Opossum?

Once, that was enough!

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I used to eat them. I'm sure my mother and I both made them and they were good. I used to prefer canned salmon to fresh. Still would except the last few cans I had were way too salty. My husband started buying salmon burgers from Costco so it seemed there was no need to go to the trouble of making salmon patties anymore. I'm not crazy about the salmon burgers either.

 

[fatboy]

yes,my wife made them all the time.

 

[PamfromTx]

If the hubby would eat these, I'd make them myself. I think they are delish.

I never grew to like most fish, I was a picky eater as a child. I got to like 'FRESH' halibut/cod or tuna packed in water. Never could get betond the smell, every summer our neighbor went to Alaska to work in the 50's&60's brought back cases of canned salmon. I would have a pb&j instead. Mother did bake good bread.

 

[Tish]

Yay!
