My DH is a fishcake fanatic! 🙄

I am trialling using celeriac instead of spud. I have some cooked and mashed and now sat in the colander, which is lined with kitchen towel, to drain and hopefully dry out a bit more over night.

I am going to mix in some ground flax seeds to 'beef' it up a bit and give it more substance before I add the flaked fish.

I will report back tomorrow afternoon if lunch has been remotely edible! 🙄
 
I'm free for lunch tomorrow if you need another opinion ............
 
My wife introduced me to Yorkshire fishcakes. That's a piece of fish & a slice of potato wrapped in batter. Popular in the Keighley area.
 
Popular all over West and North Yorkshire only in North Yorkshire they sometimes call them patty's.

Need a parsley sauce. Might use creme fraiche with some full cream to slacken it off a bit.

What time can you get here Alan?
 
West coast of Scotland to north Yorkshire that 3.5 hours, 3 if i'm hungry
 
Oh darn! We will have eaten by then - never mind - maybe next time.

Just cooking the last 2 then I will plate up and take a photo. They look the part so far - lets hope they taste the part as well!
 
Well! Semi success.

I drained the celeriac overnight with no success. It needs squeezing so with it still in the colander I used a smaller dish to apply pressure on it. Worked a charm. Once all the moisture was squeezed out I added the flax meal and the fish. Once combined I added a beaten egg as the 'glue' to hold it all together.

I let it all sit for 30 minutes. Using my large metal scone cutter as a mould I popped them in the frying pan on a medium heat.

Turned them once and when nice and brown out they came ready for eating.

Even though I seasoned them they did need more fish but otherwise the held up fine.

MORE fish ! Sounds even better :D. Good for you Lynn 😎
 
Does the flax meal have any impact on you at all? I have some in my yoghurt at brekkers and it all helps keep moving, so to speak.
