Have had many of these though made with fresh fish. I can honestly say in 6 years I have never seen a Guyanese salt fish fritter/cake like there’s in the other West Indian countries.

My family is from the country side in Guyana, and you to the sea/ creek/ river and haul home as much fish as you want...but our fish cakes and fish cakes from around the region was always made of Salt fish. It usually refereed to as SALT FISH CAKES in most places. While the taste of salt fish cant compare...I'm sure the fresh is much healthier for you this is the first time I heard of Guyanese fish cakes made from fresh fish.

It's interesting hearing about the Syrians on your site. I'm of guyanese background and my grandfather was also Syrian. It seems like I know so much about Indians, Africans, Portuguese, Chinese and know nothing about the Syrians. I've learned that there used to be lots of Syrians in Guyana at one time who were merchants to Guyana and were very good at commerce, but may have moved on for bigger markets, maybe such as Brazil and other places.

I think the Naps baking powder biscuit is more likely an American-style biscuit or plain scone rather than the biscuit cake but let me know when you try it. Hi Petra…thanks for visiting.
