My dad would order this when at the restaurant. They would serve it over real mashed potatoes. I've been having a desire for it, so thought I'd try making it myself. Hopefully comes out good.

My Dad was a Chef by trade and used to make creamed cod at home for us a lot. Also, can put hard boiled eggs and potatoes in it. Delightful !

We always topped it with fried salt pork and it's drippings and white raw onion soaked in vinegar. Called it Cape Cod Turkey Dinner. Grew up with this. It's delicious!

My Mom made this all the time. She poached the cod in milk, then used that milk to make the sauce, and would only use white pepper. Amazing. Served with boiled potatoes.

I too grew up with this dish and still make it. Many times I add peas.

Wow I forgot all about this recipe. Started baking the cod fish the smell hit a trigger point. I put a touch of lemon on the cod...Then the potatoes with carrots and the white sauce Yum! When I make the white sauce I remove the pot from the stove while adding the flour and milk only putting it onto the burner for 30 sec. at a time seems to stop those lumps! Thanks Lorraine
