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 !

Grew up in Maine with this main dish with sliced hard boiled eggs and quartered potatoes! Yum

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

Yes I also add peas and grew up with it in Boston. Any seafood available to me, I
cream and great for leftover fish.

My aunt made this with shredded Lutefisk for the first family gathering at Christmas Eve every year. That side of my family is from central MN. Not sure of the full technique but I know it was a long process (probably due to the Lutefisk prep). I loved it over toast. Only some of the family liked it. For the others, there was plenty of Swedish meatballs and other dishes.
I’m going to try making it with regular Cod for hopefully a similar flavor….

In Denver during the depression, 1930s, my mom made creamed cod. The cod came salted in as wooden box perhaps a pound or so. As I recall she had to soak the cod to get rid of the salt before cooking it. I have no idea how she prepared it but we often ate it over toas t for Friday's supper. I'm going to prepare it in the airfrier I received for Christmas.
