Tips:
- Use fresh fish. This will give your fish cakes the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the fish. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Be careful not to overmix the fish mixture. Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough.
- Form the fish cakes into patties that are about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
- Pan-fry the fish cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the fish cakes immediately with your favorite sauce.
