Simple fish cakes
These easy fish cakes are simply delicious and call for crushed crackers, lending fabulous texture and flavour. Serve these in mini portions for a starter or party nibble, or as larger cakes for a main. Seafood or tartare sauce works a treat.
Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 450g fish fillets (cod, tilapia, haddock, pollock)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon fish seasoning, or to taste
- 550g coarsely crushed buttery round crackers
- 1 egg
- 250ml vegetable oil (for frying)

- Place fish in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain off water, and mash up the fish. Stir in the onion, mustard, mayo, seasoning, cracker crumbs and egg. Mix until evenly blended.
- Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Form the fish mixture into cakes, and fry in the hot oil. Drain on kitchen paper, and serve hot.
Alternatives to cod:
Try this recipe with inexpensive fresh coley or pouting. They both belong to the cod family but are much cheaper and available in larger supermarkets or fishmongers.

DELICIOUS!!! Amazing flavor and perfectly moist. I halved the recipe because it was only for my fiance and I and it made 5 puck sized patties. I served it on a bed of mixed baby greens and made a lemon honey vinaigrette with it. It was a perfect pairing! - 03 Oct 2013
These are delicious and a huge favourite with the children. I use smoked haddock and it works really well - 02 Feb 2014
I read so many reiews about these cakes I just had to try it. I prepared with 1 1/2 lbs. of catfish fillets and baked them in the oven 1st. Added my own special seasonings as if I were going to eat them that way. I cannot imagine boiling the fish with absolutely no seasonings-- it would have tasted bland for my taste. I used only half of a medium sized onion. I flaked most of the fish instead of mashing. I used 2 tbsp. of Hellmann's mayo which is my preference and lastly I used 1 1/2 cups of Keeblers crackers. This recipe is a keeper-- Absolutely delicious!!! The taste truly isn't that different from crab cakes. - 14 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
