Fish cakes

A small portion of Fish, a bit of potato, a bit of stale bread, seasoning , oil. Yummy Fish Cakes. Heres how.

About 100 gms of a boneless fish easily available to you. 1 boiled potato, 2 slices of stale bread, salt -pepper to taste, chopped herbs if available, ( Fish and herbs pairing) . Oil for frying.

Steam and flake the fish, crumble the stale bread or mince it up  finely.Grate the potato, mix well the fish, chopped herbs salt n pepper and leave for a bit. After abt 5 mins add grated potato and tablespoonful of the breadcrumbs . gently mix with a fork, check seasoning. divide and roll into 2 balls, shape into patties and roll in the rest of the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a shallow pan and fry over medium heat till golden brown on both sides. Alternately brush a non stick pan with a little oil, flatten the patty and cook till light brown on both sides.



The Fish cake can be eaten on its own, or with pasta, noodles, garlic bread. You can put it in side bread along with a salad of choice , and sauces of your choice.
