Recipe Notes
These fish cakes are super simple and you can use almost any white fish. You can use frozen fish filets to make this, or it’s perfect for using up those little bits that are left over after trimming fish. (We like to put those leftover bits in the freezer for later.) The frozen fish only takes about a half hour to thaw and makes great fish cakes.
For gluten free Fish Cakes a good choice is gluten free panko. It is drier and the fish cakes are not as moist and will hold together better.
