Fishcake is a favourite for everyone, easy recipe to make, slightly messy but nothing a cloth could not get rid of.
I made these babies with wild hake fish (not pre-cooked) and spices, no potatoes included, I mashed the fish using a food processor and added spices, you can use tuna or salmon instead.
If you notice that the mixture is too wet you might add some breadcrumbs in. Also, consider tasting it before forming the cakes to see if it needs additional seasoning.
These can be cooked from frozen so you can make a big batch of them and freeze (uncooked) only freeze them if the fish wasn’t frozen before (never re-freeze defrosted fish).
If you use frozen fish you need to cook the fishcakes first then freeze them, and try to pack them in cling film to avoid moisture coming in.
I served them immediately with a mayonnaise Dip, you can click here for more fish recipes, and I would love you to leave me a comment below that makes me happy… thnx!!
