Smoked Fish Cakes

Published on 11 November 2025 at 19:39

These are not standard fish cakes; they are velvet spheres of indulgence. We fold delicately smoked flakes of premium fish and a generous tangle of bright, hand-chopped herbs into a cloud of creamy, whipped potato. The result is a filling that is dense yet airy, encased in a shatteringly crisp, golden exterior.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 220g cooked, flaked Smoked Haddock
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp chopped Parsley,
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tsp chopped celery leaves
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper 
  • 1/2 cup Cornmeal
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Whip up all the first ingredients together in a large bowl with a whisk.(except oil)
  • Form into burger size cakes and  set in the fridge for a few minutes.
  • Heat enough oil to come halfway up the fish cakes
  • Dust each cake on the cornmeal. Fry the cakes, making sure they don't touch each other, over medium-high heat, until they are nicely browned -about 3 minutes each side
  • Set the finished cakes on the rack in the oven.
