Hairy Bikers Fish Cakes Recipe

Hairy Bikers Fish Cakes

Hairy Bikers Fish Cakes are a delightful dish inspired by the classic British comfort food, created by the beloved duo, the Hairy Bikers. These fish cakes combine flaky fish, creamy potatoes, and a mix of spices, all coated in breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g white fish fillets (cod or haddock works best)
  • 500g potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (optional), finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Breadcrumbs for coating
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them until smooth, then set aside.
  2. Cook the Fish: Poach the fish fillets in a pan of simmering water for about 5-7 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through. Drain and flake the fish, discarding any bones or skin.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, onion, garlic, parsley, dill (if using), and seasoning. Stir until well combined.
  4. Shape the Cakes: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties.
  5. Coat the Cakes: Dip each patty in the beaten egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.
  6. Chill the Patties: Place the patties on a baking tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Fry the Fish Cakes: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fish cakes warm with your choice of accompaniments.
