Oat-crusted fishcakes recipe

Oat-crusted fishcakes

Use a pack of fish pie mix combined with fluffly King Edward potatoes, dill, capers and anchovies for a delicious lunch or light midweek meal. The oaty crumb coating makes these fishcakes all the more delicious. Try whipping up a batch of uncooked patties, stored in a plastic container and placed in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  1. Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins, until tender. Drain and coarsely mash; season.
