What does "fishcake" mean to you? (self.casualuk)

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?

Cooked flaked, salted cod fish stirred into a potato mash with a little savory, salt and pepper. Make them into rounded balls just smaller than tennis balls. Hot iron skillet and a little butter. Pop them in the pan and press em down with the spatula until they're about an inch thick. Do both sides until golden brown and warm through and you have what I consider a fish cake.
