There is a fish and chip shop in Pendeen thats sells Fish cakes! They offer you homemade or mass produced cakes. The homemade cakes are crazy! They look fluffy and huge. I guessed they may be using self raising flour.
SO... My attempt to reproduce these lovely cakes..
Poached fish mixture (Mullet and flaties) in milk with some onions.
When cooked mixed with mash potato.
I then thickend with self raising flour.
Still a bit runny so found some stuff my mate bought back from china to chuck in (not sure what it was, but it was white and flour like).
NOW.. this stuff is sticky! I reckon stgronger than any glue you could buy. Difficult to handle and concerned looks from the wife as I chucked it into a frying pan to shallow fry (NOTE.. I agree with the Americans... FRY IT.. and it will surely taste great!)
Now imagine something sticky and very doughy with the density of something really dense. Tasting like flour (any flavour from the fish has been well and truely destroyed).
In conclusion Chefs make this cooking thing look easy.
PLEASE... how do I make soft and fluffy fish cake??
