Tips:

  • Choose the right fish. Firm-fleshed fish, such as tilapia, cod, or salmon, work best for fish cakes. Avoid fish that is too oily or flaky.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your fish cakes will taste. If you can, use fresh herbs and spices instead of dried ones.
  • Don't overmix the fish cakes. Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the fish cakes before frying. This will help them hold their shape better. You can chill the fish cakes for up to 30 minutes before frying.
  • Fry the fish cakes in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan. Fry the fish cakes for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet chili sauce, tartar sauce, or a simple lemon wedge are all good options.

Conclusion:

Thai fish cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
