fishcake

Fried cod patty

A fishcake is a patty made from fish mixed with potato or breadcrumbs, then fried or baked.

The fish is typically flaked or minced—cod, salmon, or crab are common.

Fishcakes appear across many cuisines, from British pub fare to Asian street food: We had fishcakes with tartar sauce.
