fish cake

Fried seafood disc

A fish cake is a patty of flaked fish mixed with potato or breadcrumbs, then fried or baked.

They range from simple comfort food—leftover fish bound with mashed potato—to refined versions in Asian cuisines, where fish paste is shaped and steamed or fried: We ordered fish cakes as an appetizer.

In some regions, fish cake refers to processed fish loaf sliced for soups or noodle dishes.
