Morrisons and Waitrose I am looking at you!

All the 'posh' fishcakes with salmon have either a) cheese - no or b) that revolting 'saucy' centre which makes me boak.

Which supermarket does a good quality, chunky, salmon or smoked fish fishcake without extra bollocks??

YABU. Cheese is life

Gretol · 06/06/2018 11:44

cheese and fish is an abomination

Aldi Salmon and Scicillian(?) lemon are amazing!

OhDearMavis · 06/06/2018 11:46

YABU. Didnt know these things existed. Definitely going to buy some!

PinkHeart5914 · 06/06/2018 11:46

Sainsburys? They do some chunky cod and salmon ones in the fridge bit but you do have to hunt for the ones with no sauce centre.

Make them? If you use ready made mash from the fridge in most supermarkets it makes them a lot quicker

Gretol · 06/06/2018 11:47

Lol there's bloody tons of them in Morrisons!

No Aldi near me sadly

Lidl ones were ok but my Lidl doesn't seem to stock them any more

YANBU

I detest cheese and I cannot eat parkey sauce. I also dislike the taste of lemon. I just want a good quality (high fish content) cod fishcake (sorry I don't like salmon)

Gretol · 06/06/2018 11:47

Actually it was making the mash that was putting me off making them but I THINK I have some frozen mash that noone likes in the freezer

Its totally weird the way they now all have the pus-like middle

I like lemon but I want to squeeze a fresh one on myself.

WittyJack · 06/06/2018 11:51

I guess some people find them dry? I'm not a fan; I prefer not-breaded fish and my potato on the side (aka chips!!!), but I think m&s is your friend:

I do have to say when the kids were little & I was on maternity leave at home I made my own fish cakes & they were lovely.

LoniceraJaponica · 06/06/2018 11:55

Frozen mash and tinned tuna makes pretty decent low effort fishcakes. Add grated lemon rind, parsley and a spoonful of mayo (yes, that's right), chill and form into patties and fry.

WittyJack · 06/06/2018 11:57

I wish I liked tuna. It's so healthy. Stupid tastebuds.

MagicFajita · 06/06/2018 11:58

Morrisons smoked haddock fish cakes don't have cheese in them.

MummytoCSJH · 06/06/2018 11:58

YANBU! I'm allergic to cheese and people keep recommending the 'melt in the middle' ones to me (on slimming world). Anyone know of any other good ones?

LanguidLobster · 06/06/2018 11:58

Love the sound of Aldi salmon and Sicilian lemon

Dahlietta · 06/06/2018 11:59

YABU, love those saucy fishcakes. However, last time I was in the Coop they had some posh dry ones. They were alright.

MagicFajita · 06/06/2018 12:01

These ones are really nice.

Tesco do a really nice Thai inspired prawn fishcake in their Finest range - and they also have non-sauce fish cakes with salmon (food of the devil) smoked haddock or cod as the fish.

taratill · 06/06/2018 12:11

I totally and utterly agree.
I bought some from M&S deli, they were delicious until I got to the abomination that was in the middle. Gross.

No idea why they think this is a good combo.

Make your own

ShatnersWig · 06/06/2018 12:17

Quite agree. Cheese as cheese, yes. Cheese as sauce, never. Especially with fish.

Tesco do Taste the Difference fishcakes without ruining them with internal pus. They're OK.

ApolloandDaphne · 06/06/2018 12:19

I agree. Morrisons used to do a lovely range but now they mostly have cheesy sauce in them. Yuck. They did lovely thai prawn ones but I am not sure if they still do them.
