Loading...Thai Fish Cakes
These Thai Fish Cakes are very fragrant and full of flavour and punch. They make a great starter at a dinner party and sometimes we have them as a meal!! We use three different types of seafood for our fish cakes to get a varied flavour. Prawns and crab meat also add a real sweetness while the salmon adds body and texture.
The main flavour comes from Thai fish sauce and Thai curry paste. This time we used green thai curry paste which we had left over from a previous recipe but red curry paste works just as well. A spoonful of rich coconut cream adds moisture and richness to the cakes.
Add some fiery sweet chilly sauce and you have the perfect dip. You could also add an egg in there to bind everything (we didn’t).

Tried to fry these without the egg and they just wouldnt stick together. Tried them and decided they needed something more. So i added about 1/3 cup of crushed crackers (i used Club Buttery Garlic) and they were instantly 10 times better. always going to add the egg and the crackers next time. I also used a can of salmon instead of the salmon fillets for economical reasons.
these look so good!
OK to include these in my friday link roundup?
