Fish cakes for freezing?

thriftlady_2

Just had a lovely time reading the fishcake thread(well done Taplady-I still can't seem to do links ).In Jeanette Orrey's new book 'Second Helpings from the dinner Lady' she has a recipe for 'Crispy Tuna and Cheese Nuggets' which are little nugget-shaped fishcakes.They're mash,tuna,cheese coated in egg and milk then breadcrumbs and baked.I thought these looked great for kids.

If you really can't work them out using the A-Z Guide by sra there are a couple of very easy ways to do simple links listed at the bottom of our Welcome sticky. Once you get those under your belt you'll be well in

Thanks squeaky,I think it's more a case of not being bothered to work it out I'll get the hang of it when I'm motivated.I know everyone's always willing to help.thanks again

Am glad they came out ok!:j They're really easy, cheap and tasty!:D

We had 4 of them last night for tea - they broke up a bit when I tried to oven bake them so I just shallow fried them lightly - they were very tasty iof a bit soggy hehe! Will definitly do them again though!!

Have to admit I dont think I could do them without a bit of help from DS1:o but am determined to get there eventually!

I'm not sure I'm allowed to quote the actual recipe Rachie -plagiarism/copyright laws etc,but basically it is just 1 lb of mashed potato mixed with 2 tins of tuna,half a lb of grated cheese,juice of a lemon.You mix it all together and chill in the fridge.Make little balls of the mixture and dip in beaten egg and breadcrumbs,then bake on an oiled baking tray for 15-20 mins at 200c.

By the way,taplady I've cracked links now :j Here's the book

Well done thriftlady!;)

Tonight, I was inspired by everyone on here to use up some tinned fish I had in the cupboard and a potato that was lurking in the fridge to make my own fish cakes and they were great :j (even if I do say so myself!)

The only thing is, I underestimated quite how many fishcakes I would make, so I have a fair few left over. I think that I may have made a mistake in cooking the lot all at once - should probably have frozen them uncooked, but do you think it would be okay if I froze them now? Otherwise I'll be destined to eat fishcakes for the rest of the week!

Sorry if that's a silly question!

Oddly enough I made fishcakes last night and ccoked the lot. I wrapped the uneaten ones in greaseproof paper, one layer between each and froze them in portions in freezer bags. I just assumed they'd be OK................and even if they aren't its DH who eats em not me or the kids;)
