Coddie

in Baltimore, MD

A coddie is a humble Baltimore fish cake made with salted cod, potato, and onion, fried until crisp, then served with mustard and crackers. It is old-school seafood-counter food rather than a polished restaurant entrée.

Did you know?

Coddies belong to Baltimore’s older seafood-counter tradition, a humble working-city foodway that predates the modern focus on jumbo-lump crab.
