Whichfishcakes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mash the potato in a large bowl.
• 2. In a small skillet, cook the bacon and scallions until the meat is crisp, about 5 minutes.
• 3. Add the bacon and scallions to the bowl. Mix in the cod, peas (if using), egg, salt, and pepper.
• 4. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
• 5. Put the cornflake or Chex crumbs in a shallow bowl. Form the cod mixture into 6 three-inch round patties. Press all sides of them into the crumbs.
• 6. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• 7. Fry the cakes for 1 to 2 minutes a side.
• 8. Serve them on the buns, with tartar sauce or mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Mix together 125ml mayonnaise, 1 rounded tbsp roughly chopped capers, 1 rounded tsp creamed horseradish, 1 rounded tsp Dijon mustard, 1 small very finley chopped shallot and 1 tsp finely chopped flatleaf parsley. Set aside.
• Lay 450g skinned Icelandic cod or haddock fillet and 2 bay leaves in a frying pan. Pour over 150ml milk and 150ml water.
• Cover, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4 mins. Take off the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 mins to gently finish cooking the fish.
• Meanwhile, peel and chop 350g Maris Piper potatoes into even-sized chunks. Put them in a saucepan and just cover with boiling water. Add a pinch of salt, bring back to the boil and simmer for 10 mins or until tender, but not broken up.
• Lift the fish out of the milk with a slotted spoon and put on a plate to cool. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave for a min or two.
• Tip the potatoes back into the hot pan on the lowest heat you can and let them dry out for 1 min, mashing them with a fork and stirring so they don't stick. You should have a light, dry fluffy mash.
• Take off the heat and beat in 1 rounded tbsp of the sauce, then ½ tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp chopped flatleaf parsley and 1 tbsp snipped chives.
• Season well with salt and pepper. The potato should have a good flavour, so taste and adjust to suit.
• Drain off liquid from the fish, grind some pepper over it, then flake it into big chunks into the pan of potatoes.
• Using your hands, gently lift the fish and potatoes together so they just mix. You'll only need a couple of turns, or the fish will break up too much. Put to one side and cool.
• Beat 1 egg on a large plate and lightly flour a board. Spread 85g fresh white breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Divide the fish cake mixture into four.
• On the floured board, and with floured hands, carefully shape into four cakes, about 2.5cm thick. One by one, sit each cake in the egg, and brush over the top and sides so it is completely coated.
• Sit the cakes on the crumbs, patting the crumbs on the sides and tops so they are lightly covered. Transfer to a plate, cover and chill for 30 mins (or up to a day ahead).
• Heat 3-4 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil in a large frying pan. To test when ready, drop a piece of the dry breadcrumbs in - if it sizzles and quickly turns golden brown, it is ready to use.
• Fry the fish cakes over a medium heat for about 5 mins on each side or until crisp and golden. Serve with the rest of the sauce (squeeze in a little lemon to taste), lemon wedges for squeezing over and watercress.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of water, bring the water to a boil. Let the potatoes cook until they are almost tender.
• Add the fish to the pot and let the fish and potatoes cook until they are both soft. Drain well and transfer the potatoes and fish to a large mixing bowl.
• Add butter, onion, parsley, and egg to the bowl; mash the mixture together. Mold the mixture into patties.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• Put the fish and milk in a medium saucepan. Refrigerate at least an hour.
• Peel the potatoes and put in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are soft. Drain thoroughly, mash and season well with salt and pepper.
• In a small skillet, melt butter, add scallions and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the refrigerator and place over medium-low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and cook the fish until flaky, 5 to 7 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from heat, drain off the milk and allow to cool. Using a fork, break the fish into large flakes.
• Lightly beat one of the eggs and stir into the cooled potato mixture with the scallions and Worcestershire sauce. Add the flaked fish and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and gently fold into the mixture. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Form patties about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick for entree portions, or 2 inches in diameter for appetizer portions.
• Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl and put the bread crumbs in another. Dip the patties first in the beaten egg and then the bread crumbs. Heat about 1/8 of an inch of oil in a frying pan, adding more as needed. Fry the patties for just a few minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve warm with lemon, tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Sprinkle the base of a baking pan with a thin film of olive oil. Lay the fish skin (or skinned) side down. Sprinkle with about a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt. Bake until the fish is just cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Lift the cooled fish from its skin, leaving behind any bones or brown parts, and break it into small pieces as you drop it into a mixing bowl. Add the parsley and fresh bread crumbs. Whisk together the egg, mayonnaise and mustard and pour it over the fish. Use a fork to lift and fold the fish. Don't overmix. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a bowl. Pat the fish into 8 3-inch cakes and coat with the bread crumbs. The fish cakes may be covered and chilled for up to a day.
• Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. If the fish cakes have been chilled, also preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When the sautépan is hot, add the butter. As soon as it stops foaming, lay the fish cakes in the pan. Let them be until they are browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes. If the fish cakes were chilled or are not thoroughly hot in the center, place the pan in the oven and bake until heated through, about 4 more minutes. Serve with a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Drain the fish; break up fine.
• Mix all ingredients.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
• Form 1/3 to 1/2 cup of mixture into patties.
• Heat a large skillet and spray with Pam.
• Cook on each side 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Combine with the fish and other ingredients down to and including the seasonsings and then using wet hands shape them into eight patties.
• Dust them with flour and then dip them into the egg and finallyu coat with the crumbs.
• Heat oil to moderate and cook them until they are golden browqn on both sides.
