Fish Cakes

On the other hand, you can serve these fish cakes for company by using one part fish, one part potatoes, including salmon or crab, and replacing the onion with chopped green onion or chives.

- for 250 ml (1 cup) cooked flaked fish (cod, sole, salmon or tuna)

Method :
- Prepare some mashed potatoes, seasoning them well with salt, pepper and finely chopped onion.
