Ooh, my special, you know the red tin of pilchards? Glenryck i think, mix them in with some mashed potato and ketchup (if you want to). Coat with flour (and or bread crumbs and shallow fry, They are so yummy! and bursting with omega three!

Cod cakes: (not my own recipe)
Can be done with haddock or salmon too, or a mix of all three.

350g potatoes (cubed)
450g cod

knob of unsalted butter
plain flour for coating
oil for frying

1. cook potoatoes for 10 min until tender
2. put fish in pan, cover with milk, cook gently for about 8-10min. (until fish turns opaque, or can be pulled into big flakes). Lift the fish out and reserve milk. Flake fish into a bowl while checking for bones. Add the parsley and pepper.
3. drain potatoes return to pan and heat for a few minutes to get rid of exess water. Then mash with butter and a little of the fish milk.
4. Mix mash with fish and shape into small round balls, pat them in the flour and chill in the fridge for half an hour.
