Recipe tips

Try using a mixture of fish such as salmon, crab and prawns.
You could use wholemeal bread to make a higher fibre, slightly denser fishcake.
Freezing instructions: Suitable for freezing once cooked. Freeze in individually wrapped portions with greaseproof paper between each fishcake. Defrost in the fridge, or in the microwave and heat thoroughly until piping-hot throughout.
