Thai Fish Cakes

I don’t cook a lot of seafood as I’m not a fan of strong seafood, so I always use a mild flavoured fish but feel free to use your favourite fish.

I first made this recipe whilst in New Zealand visiting friends and it was delicious and I have made them many times since.

The base ingredient is coarsely mashed potato with fish and herbs combined.

These fish cakes can be used as finger food if made small, or serve with a salad and sweet chilli sauce as a main meal.
