Review of the Fish Cakes Recipe
Hi, Ray here again.
Once again the weekend arrives and it is time to chose a dish from one of the great Curry Focus recipes.
I checked my previous reviews and was surprised to learn that I haven’t tried a fish recipe since I started reviewing the Curry Focus website recipes. I saw the recipe for Fish Cakes. It has been a long, long, time since I’ve eaten fish cakes. And so it was the fish cakes recipe that I chose to make.
Most of the ingredients for the meal were already in the house and all I had to buy was the fish and spring onions (scallions).
It’s really such an easy recipe that it’s difficult to write much about it.
I cooked the fish and then let it cool while I boiled the potatoes and made the mash.
Then I crumbled up the cooled fish and mixed in all of the remaining ingredients.
I beat the second egg to use as a binder for the breadcrumbs.
Then I made the fish cakes. They were a bit small and quite crumbly and I had to handle them carefully to stop them from falling apart. The fish cakes were so small that I decided to make them bigger and I finished up with 12 fish cakes.
I heated up the frying oil and the oven and fried the fish cakes 4 at a time and kept them warm in the oven.
I served up the fish cakes with vegetables to the dinner group.
The fish cakes were quickly eaten by the diners and “tasty” was the main word that was used to describe them. They had a medium spice/heat flavour and received a good score of 7 out of 10.
One thing that could have made them taste even better was a sauce. Perhaps a tamarind sauce would have worked well with the cakes.
Overall, the fish cakes tasted great and I won’t leave it so long before I make them again.
