I tried to make my first fish cakes last night.

There are many reasons why the fish cake ended up looking like hash instead of a cake, one is that there are too much potatoes so there is too much moisture so the cake did not hold together. Try lessening the potato next time and add more binders like what somebody mentioned flour or what I do is add very fine bread crumbs. Try making smaller patties and use a lot of oil (deep frying)and see to it that the oil is really hot before you drop in the cakes and use something like a screen to fish it out ASAP when it cooks (prevents the food from absorbing too much oil), put in a strainer to allow more excess oil to drip, then wipe with a paper towel. The excess fish I think I would marinate, charcoal grill, brush in more marinate while grilling and then I would prepare lemon butter sauce. I prefer to eat these with rice but others may eat it with what they prefer. Yeah keep any kind of fruit as dessert, after eating to remove the fishy after taste

I used to buy cans of salmon and make fish cakes. I used celery powder and chopped onions and parsley. I would put them together with bread crumbs and eggs then make them into patties. My daughter's father(my first husband) liked them. I was thinking recently I would like to make some again and freeze them. THen my daughter could just take out afew and heat them for me. SOme day I hope to do this.

Bread them with some bread crumbs and cheese and favorite herbs, cook in the oven until done.( similar to the Kraft product called Fresh Takes) We used canned salmon the other day and made "stuffies" which we buy when some of the stores have them. It is a stuffed clam shell, but you could just make the stuffing and fish and make patties, which would be like your fish cakes. Or cook it and serve it over a salad.

Make a cat happy? Failing that, could you make a fish pie? I don't eat fish myself, can't stand the smell, but a friend of mine makes fish pie all the time.

You could use some of the filets for grilling - better for your health than frying! If you had put some bread crumbs in the fish cakes, you would probably come nearer to getting a cake rather than 'hash' - and not too many eggs! ;-) Sounds as if you are a good cook and will find a good use for all that fish. (Next time, feel the bag - you SHOULD be able to feel whether there are individual pieces or 'one huge hunk' of fish!)

hi there, fishs cake i think this is the first tie i hear abou this cakes is it really from fish how come, the details are not enough its weird for me and interesting maybe didlicious if you can provide pics maybe i can try it also i like fish and like to see new recipes and try new tastes also, so nice and idea that really not famous in here, thank you for this dishes hoep to try it some day thaks

Fish doesn't keep very long so if you don't eat soon, I'd suggest that you throw it out.
