Can I prepare fishcakes with egg and then leave in fridge before cooking?

[lovecloud]

Hello

I love making Salmon fish cakes but always find it such a mess with the mash still warm. Its makes it so sticky and hard to handle.

I normally add the salmon and any other ingrediants into the bowl of mashed potato, mix and then take a big dollop, dip in egg, then flour and pat into a neat shape and then fry gently.

This time I was thinking of letting the mash cool first before i start then when i make the cakes to stick them in the fridge to set. - Anyone else do this?

Probably silly question but is it ok to put the cakes that have just been dipped in raw egg into the fridge before being cooked?

Im pregnant so a bit over the top

hello

Hi need to start now - hungry

Can't see why not to be honest

Dh says yes and he is a head chef (as long as you cook them within a few hours)

I do. I freeze them too, to cook at a later date.
