Fancy Fishcakes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut up into 2-inch pieces
• 1 1/2 ounces butter
• 3 spring onions, chopped fine (scallions)
• 200 g just over 7 oz. smoked haddock (NOT the yellow dyed stuff)
• 200 g just over 7oz . mixture smoked salmon, and any other cooked seafood of your choice, ie. shrimp, crayfish, etc
• 3 eggs, beaten
• panko
• oil (for frying)
• fresh lemon wedge, to serve

Directions

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes,or until tender. Drain. Let cool a bit, and when still warm mash the potatoes until smooth, together with the butter.

2. 2

   In a pan, gently fry the haddock in a little oil until cooked through,about 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet. When done, let it cool and flake the meat, picking over for bones.

3. 3

   When the potatoes are quite cold, mix in the spring (green) onions and the flaked fish, the chopped salmon and your other seafood of choice.

4. 4

   Form the mixture into balls and then flatten into 'cakes', about 3" across and about 3/4" thick.

5. 5

   Dip each cake in flour, beaten egg and panko breadcrumbs.

6. 6

   Fry the cakes in some oil, enough to get them a nice golden colour and heat them through piping hot - very important!
