Quick and Easy Fish Cakes

Recipe Description

These Quick and Easy Fish Cakes are one of my favorite light meals. I regularly make these with salad and homemade tartar sauce. They are a perfect appetizer when you have guests around too! Try them out soon.

To make these delicious fish cakes, start by placing all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix them together. Use a fork to break apart the fish, until the ingredients are evenly combined. Shape the mixture into patties. Heat cooking oil to medium-high and fry the fish cakes in batches until golden brown.

To make my version of Quick and Easy Fish Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
