Method
Gently fry your spring onions and garlic in oil/butter for two minutes over a medium heat. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl, leaving to cool slightly.
Once cool, add the rest of the fishcake ingredients. Mix well using your hands, then shape into patties.
Next, set up your ‘fishcake prep line’: three bowls, one with flour, the next with egg and cold water and the third with breadcrumbs.
Coat the fishcake in plain flour, then dip in the egg. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat with the other fishcakes, then chill in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the fishcakes for four to five minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper, then serve with simple mint or carrot salad.
