My Mother used to make cod Fish Gravy when I was a kid back in the 1970's & 1980's I'm going to try and make it! Fingers crossed it turns out just as delicious as my Mother used too make :)

My grandma and mother made this. Dutch dish. They added peas.

We put our codfish over boiled potatoes, rice and soft boiled eggs all mixed together. No one in the family remembers how the gravy was made. Very great dish, wish we would have paid more attention.

It comes out creamier starting with a roux, rather than the flour paste whisked into milk. The latter made for a foamy, less appetizing texture. 3 tablespoons flour was too much thickener for 2 cups milk. The fish didn't have a chance to soften and break up due to gloppy sauce consistency. A thinner sauce would allow more simmer time to soften fish flakes.

I used to have this as a kid 50 to 60 years ago. back then dried salt cod was cheap and readily available. I still love it and I serve it over hard boiled eggs and golf ball size boiler potatoes & onions. I use a bay leaf and a pinch of nutmeg and squeeze some fresh lemon juice when serving -- YUMMY!!

My mom and Gram always made this. After soaking in water they would chunk up the fish and put it in the milk to soak for 2 or 3 hours and refrigerate. They would then heat the milk/cod and simmer until MOST of the cod flaked. In another pan they'd melt butter, add the flour and make a roux. They would add the roux by spoonful and whisked it in until it was thickened the way they liked it... smooth, rich, and creamy. I also make it this way. Freshly cracked pepper is better than finely grated canned pepper. Mom served hers with potato while Gram preferred bread as I do.

I've put the codfish gravy over a baked potato, skin and all.

My mom made this all the time we were growing up. Instead of flour, she would crush up Holland Rusk and stir it in and serve over hot boiled potatoes we would mush up on our plates. Brown sugar glazed or plain boiled carrots go great with this!!

My mother always served this gravy over freshly made biscuits.

Yeah, the codfish gravy we had as kids for breakfast was always served over toast, the fish flakes into the gravy before serving.

After the cod fish was cooked where did you put it? If it was added to the milk gravy you didn't say so.
