Fishcakes!

pickle

I'm making tuna cakes tonight. I add a finely diced small onion for extra flavour and serve with fresh lemon to squeeze on top. I usually crumb them and fry but I think I'll try to oven bake them this time as several people have said on this thread. It would save me a lot of money buying oil and not so fatty!

I'm starving now I've read this thread! Will definately be trying the smoked mackeral fishcakes.

That tuna fish pie sounds gorgeous too! Oh well, since I'm snowed in, I think it will be a slice of toast for me!

I used to make these years ago but haven't done for a long time
after reading on here about them I thought I'd give them another go
well how easy are they !!!!!!!!!!!!!! super easy
I've made them with tuna fish and we've got them with potato bake and giant mushrooms stuffed with cheese

Hi sunrise,

I haven't had fishcakes for ages and those sound lovely! I'll add this to the main fishcake thread so others will find your idea more easily.

Just made my first ever salmon fishcakes thanks to this thread. They are sat in the fridge chilling now if I pop them in the oven will they go all crispy & lovely like they would if I fried them, or should I risk them falling to bits in the frying pan:o They do look delicious, I've put breadcrumbs on them.

Hi - only my second post - avid lurker! I also use tinned crab meat, dark and white for fish cakes, dust with flour and gently fry and they turn out beautifully

I tell you what, once you've made them yourself you will never want to eat those frozen ones again!

This was my first ever attempt at making them and having scouted around the 'net for ideas and recipes I just threw together a few ingredients and hoped for the best LOL!

left-over mash
tin tuna
about a third of a red onion, finely chopped
couple of spoonfuls of frozen sweetcorn
some grated cheddar
glug of worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper to season

I mixed everything together, formed the fishcakes and coated them in flour, then left in the fridge for 30 mins before cooking.

I'm sure there's loads of different ways you can make them basically using up any ingredients you have and I'm looking forward to experimenting with them

OOO i am going to try these, Ive loads of tuna and some potatoes to use up. Also got a bag of salad to use too by tomorrow! Thanks :beer:

I'm sure you'll have lots of different ideas to help, as there are lots of different styles and types - my good basic is (and I'm sorry I don't know measurements)

mix mash and fish well, along with salt and pepper, finely chopped/grated onion, cheese if you like cheese and fish together. You can add all sorts - capers, finely chopped cooked bacon, finely chopped gherkins, finely chopped hardboiled eggs, mustard - whatever tastes you like. Some like to add a raw egg but I don't personally. I then dust with flour, dip in egg and then breadcrumbs/herby breadcrumbs\lemon zest and black peppered breadcrumbs/finely crushed crisps/finely crushed crackers. I then put the in the fridge for half an hour as I find it firms them up a bit. You can fry them, or I spray/flick some olive oil and bake at a high temperature unti brown and lovely. This way they stay together really well.

Sorry about all the options but not knowing what else you have in I was trying to show that there is never just one way of doing things!

nothing to add to Ubamother's suggestion except to say cook the salmon first before mixing with the mash.
