I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.
But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.
Was my whole childhood a lie?
Ah, well a fish stick is a fish finger in the UK, so that’s a whole other thing.
Whatever the fishcake contains, it is usually round.
We do crab cakes here that are like that. If you find good ones they can be pretty awesome sometimes.
