Trudy's Fish Cakes (Fish and Chips) Recipe #377363
This is a different way to prepare homemade fish and chips all at the same time!! I found this unique recipe in a local newspaper, the writer's 89 year old mother Trudy always made her favourite fish cakes this way. I haven't tried this method yet, but I will.
