Maureen's Pilchard Fish Cakes
"The best fish cakes I have ever had. So sad that tinned pilchards (or sardines) in tomato sauce don't appear as a known ingredient on Zaar as these beat all the other fish cake recipes (for me). Perhaps a few other "foreign" non-American members will have this ingredient at hand and give this a bash. Preparation time excludes making mashed potato - can use instant mash if desired)."

That seems like a lot of onion. Are you talking about shallots or scallions or regular size onions for this recipe? Thanks. -
Hi Maureen How do you reheat this from frozen?

Beautiful! I actually received a few tins of pilchards as a house-warming gift when I moved into my first own flat, and never really knew what to do with them. Try it with pilchards in chilli sauce for a bit of a bite, especially in winter... -
I'm surprised more people don't use tinned pilchards as well,I'm a Brit so I was raised on them. This recipe is almost identical my own that I haven't used for many years but I'm going to! My difference is I didn't use the eggs then,but I didn't in burgers either though do now. I also used to add a packet of parsley and thyme stuffing mix to the fishcakes and dust them in flour before shallow frying or baking,gives them a nice crisp outer coating. Pilchard fishcakes are gorgeous! -
Yummy....I'm so glad my German deli/grocer carries pilchards in all kinds of sauces...will try with other sauced pilchards

I love trying new recipes and I love eating. I'm always willing to try something completely new.
After two years of membership, I have tried many wonderful, new recipes and learned lots of useful hints and tips. I have to say, the Zaar community is one of the most friendly and helpful I know.
