English Fish Cake


Ingredients:

  • 500gm of mashed potato
  • 500gm of lightly-cooked fish - flaked, or cut into small pieces, and any bones carefully removed (Cod, Salmon or any firm fish)
  • 2 big Egg yolk
  • 4 tbsp chopped Parsley
  • 1 small bunch of fresh chopped Chives
  • 2 tsp Anchovy Essence
  • 120gm  Butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly-ground Black Pepper
  • Plain Flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • Butter for frying
Method:

  1. Mix together the first six ingredients.
  2. Melt the butter gently, then mix it into the fish mixture
  3. Season to taste, bearing in mind that the Anchovy paste is already salty.
  4. Form the mixture into cakes of equal size - tiny fish cakes with crispy bacon make an excellent brunch dish.
  5. Dunk the cakes in the seasoned flour and cover them as thoroughly as possible.
  6. Melt a little butter, over a medium heat, in a frying pan, and fry the cakes so that they're golden-brown on both sides.
