Fish Cakes

One bite and you'll be hooked on these delicious fish cakes!  

Fish Cake
What you need:

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 can "light" tuna in water, drained
  • 4-5 oz. breadcrumbs
  • all-purpose flour
  • corn oil for shallow frying
  • peas
  • lemon 

Tip: Use only "light" tuna in your recipes. Other kinds of tuna can contain too much mercury and may have been caught unsustainably!
 

What you do:

  1. Combine mashed potatoes, light tuna, and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Divide the mixture into small balls (about 1/2 cup for each ball). Roll each ball in the flour. 
  3. Shape each ball into a fish shape. Flatten the fish with your fingers.
  4. Have an adult fry each fish cake on medium heat until golden brown. 
  5. Insert a pea in each fish cake for an eye. Serve each fish cake in a sea of peas with a lemon slice sun.
