Fish Cake Recipes – Delicious And Healthy
Here are two variations of fish cake recipes for you to try. The base recipe is the same but the one is made with hake and the other is made with salmon.
I have also included a tuna fish cake recipe and a snoek fish cake recipe below.
Although I love fish cakes, I don’t make these recipes as often as I would like to as they are a little time consuming.
