Home cooking

In the distant past, BH used to make fish cakes out of coley and potato. More recently, I have taken to making them with left-over baked white fish, usually haddock.

But most recently, we tried salmon fish cakes from Sainsbury's, which I did not much care for.

So this morning, I moved into action with some haddock, potato and other bits and pieces left over from the baked haddock of the evening previous. Plus an egg to bind it all together.

Lacking the overcoat of a factory cake, this one did not look very neat on the plate, but it tasted well enough - and the appearance will no doubt improve with practise with the fish slice.

PS: there is another fish cake experience reported at reference 2. The place concerned 'Arch 139', made way for 'Due South', now closed itself, although the parent lives on at reference 3. Restauranting is clearly a high turnover business.

Somewhere in the arches snapped above from Street View. Possibly where the black place is now, in the middle.

No memory at all of the occasion at the moment. Maybe it will come back to me.
