Just had to tell you how much I enjoyed the salmon cakes. I subbed in some homemade whole wheat breadcrumbs for the panko, but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Very easy and a nice change for using up leftover salmon. I served them with a soy/sesame oil/vinegar dipping sauce and some Thai sweet chili sauce and they were a big hit.

Oh, the Canadian love! CRTC! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’m sitting on my Toronto balcony with my hand up yelling, β€œme too! Me too!” I saw your post about Malivoire the other day (maybe that was on IG?) and was like, β€œhey! I know those guys!”

Anyway, I delight in the Canadian content. #cancon

Gorgeous post, Colu. Also, I still love terrestrial radio, too! When I went to college in Burlington, Vt, CHOM from Montreal was the station of choice, really great.

Thank you dear, Jolene! It's the best, right? I too love Montreal stations. I will sometimes put them on in Hudson!

Hi Colu- I’m a Nova Scotian living in a large North American city. These photos are so beautiful.

The clam is a quahog- it’s a different species. The Miqma’q people have eaten it forever ( I have had it kind of braised over a fire- I don’t love it) and the shells are used to make wampum. Wampum belts are a very important legal object for treaty making between Indigenous and non Indigenous peoples since before contact. The purple parts of the shell are particularly valuable in making contrast. It’s a really important shellfish for all of us treaty people.

Welcome to Canada! (back I’m assuming - I’m a newer subscriber but know you from NYT Cooking) Your salmon recipes sound delish! Glad you’re enjoying the music mix and of course, glorious Eastern Canada! I live on the Prairies but loved my two visits to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. It would be great to get to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador as I’ve been lucky to visit to all of our other Provinces and three Territories. Only NS and NFLD are ones I haven’t been to. β€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
