fish cakes

Fried seafood rounds

Fish cakes are patties made from flaked fish mixed with potato or breadcrumbs, then fried or baked.

They range from homestyle preparations using leftover fish to refined versions served in restaurants.

In some regions, particularly New England, fish cakes are a traditional breakfast item: We had fish cakes and beans for Sunday breakfast.
