do it to feel whisk an egg and gradually add it you want the mixture to be sligtly wet but not that wet
i egg for every portion that makes 2 cakes.
90% of a fish cake is spuds
25% fish, 75% spud. Need the egg to hold it all together and to get the bread crumbs to sticks!
Roughly 3/4 fish to 1/4 potatoe, but it depends on how wet your ingredients are, so you have to adjust the proportions. And yes use a little beaten egg to bind.
Don't forget to season and add squeeze of lemon, dill or parsley.
Yum, my favorite!
50 50 you need to taste the fish depending on how many your making whisk your egg and put it in slowly dont make the mixture to wet then flour them before you fry dont forget to put in some parsley sage and pepper
