I don’t know about you but I love fish cakes, crab cakes, lobster cakes … You got it!
Fish Cakes are a great way to make everyone enjoy fish, even when you don’t like seafood! I love the crusty outside and flaky inside. And of course, paired with a mayonnaise or tartar sauce, it is even yummier. It is also a great way to use left over. Whenever you bake too much fish, feel free to reuse it and make fish cake with it.
I caramelized the onions before putting them in the cakes. I tried once to use raw onions but it wasn’t as good to me. They were too crunchy and you could taste them too much. Add parsley to your taste.
To ensure the fish cakes have a great shape, cook them in cake rings or cookie cutter. If you don’t have any of those, you can use a spoon to add batter into your pan. It won’t look as nice, but the taste will still be here.
