Fish Cake Instructions

• First, remove the fish from the package and place it into a pan on med-high with the milk and bay leaves. Cover the pan until the milk comes to a boil. Turn the heat down and leave it to cook for five minutes. Remove from the heat, keep covered, and leave it to rest for ten minutes.
• After 10 minutes, remove the cooked fish from the milk and place it on a dish where the excess milk can drain off.
• Peel and dice the potatoes, and place in boiling water until a fork can pierce through. Do not overcook into mush!
• Mash the potatoes with lemon zest, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme. Taste it, and make sure you like the flavor! Place to the side.
• Pull the fish apart into the potato mixture, not too small; you want to taste those chunks of fish!
• Shape the fish cakes into patty shapes, 1-inch thick, on a floured surface.
• Place the cake into the mixed egg in a shallow dish and coat, then move it to the bread crumbs and coat. Place into freezer for fifteen minutes.
• Heat oil on med-high heat and place the fish cakes into the hot oil. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, flip it over, and cook the other side until golden brown.
• Remove from the oil and place on a napkin to soak up any excess oil.
