Making spicy fish cakes with middle cut Mackerel - quick, delicious and budget friendly!

I like to make fish cakes using middle cut mackerel from the can - the firmer meat of the middle cut helps the fish to stay intact through the process of making the fish cakes. With a no name brand can of fish costing R27, it is a delicious snack or main meal at a very small cost.
Ingredients:
1 can of middle cut Mackerel (400g)
1 med onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 green chillies
generous handful of spring onion
dhania (coriander)
2 sprigs mint
1 egg for binding
1 lemon (to use the zest)
2 med potatoes, boiled for mashing
1 tbs mayonnaise
Grind of salt and pepper to taste
Paprika
Sprinkle of dried mixed herbs
1 tsp soy sauce
For breading:
flour with salt added
egg (beaten and salted)
bread crumbs
Served with thin cut chips and sweet chillie dipping sauce.

Lovely Aunty and really great for the children and a super healthy lunch box treat. Really love the fish cakes

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes indeed, nice and crispy lunchbox filler!

[@ashajagaroo8576]

Looks delicious. With the current price of fish cakes, home made is definitely the way to go. And instead of egg the good old water and flour mixture works very well.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Oh ok thanks, we may give that a shot.

[@ivanrooplal4075]

Wow keep up with the good recipe 😮😂 making me hungry every time I watch this channel 👍👏🤪

[@shakiladeonarain6814]

Namaste wow will make the fish cake. Usually i use tuna. Will let u no how it comes out 👍💕❤️

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes can definitely also use tuna or if you like salmon.

[@hillarysnell8127]

Hi thankyou it look nice my name is Hillary will give it a try ok

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Great let us know how it goes!

[@yeshidaindraj9694]

Quite a lengthy process. We'll worth the effort in these trying times where things are so expensive. Can we put them the oven aunty or shallow fry in very less oil.Thank u so much aunty .Try to fry on slow heat as well

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes you can do it in the oven by giving it a brush on each side with oil and putting it into an oven tray. I am not sure how long it will take to crisp up - you will have to keep an eye and cook to your satisfaction.

[@marismith1927]

Ahh nice. We used to make it with fresh steamed fish. Snoek especially nice. I will surely try it with canned fish. Thank you so much. 🤩😍

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes when you can't get fresh fish, tinned fish such as the mackerel we used or tuna or even pilchards could work.

[@marlenebornman1751]

I have never tried soya sauce in my fish cakes very interesting.....I usually use tuna if using tin fish would this make a difference

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Tuna works very well as well.

[@highonslowdive4350]

which tuna would you recommend for the fish cakes. any specific brand. thank you

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi We don't have a specific preferred brand for tuna. If you can, try to get a chunkier tuna, that way the texture will be still good in the fish cakes.

[@nandiphamotman2461]

😮

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Did you enjoy?

[@logasnaicker3045]

Lucky Pranesh 😁

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes he’s very lucky!

[@tyrankesh2517]

Hi ma can I freeze them?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Yes the fish cakes do freeze very well

[@ivanpillay5383]

Pls I request for sheep head curry

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We saw sheep head in the shops just this week. We didn’t get it but maybe after all the fasting is over we will show it

[@shanalawrence4381]

Good morning Mum 🤗
Yum, these fish cakes look so delicious.... Some fresh buttered bread will go well with it. Lucky Wanderer and Pranesha 🥺
Did you make your own sweet chillie sauce Mum?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We mixed together some sweet chillie, a little bit of siracha sauce and tomato sauce for the dip. Quick and tasty

[@cynthiamatthews6057]

OK I figured out why middle cut tin fish it's firm and not mushy,

[@anisha3009]

Thank you Aunty for the recipe. It looks delicious. 💖

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]
