NOVA SCOTIA FISH CAKES



Nova Scotia Fish Cakes image

Flaky white fish and potatoes come together with a crisp bread-crumb coating in this recipe, adapted from Judith Sanders and brought to The Times by Joan Nathan after a 2012 trip to Nova Scotia. You'll want to serve these warm, with tartar sauce, chutney, chowchow - or a tart splash of lemon.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 main-course servings (about 30 patties)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound haddock, cod, halibut or any other flaky white fish
1 cup milk
1 pound (about 2 medium) russet potatoes, peeled
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups bread crumbs for dredging
Corn oil, for frying
Tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow, for serving
Juice of 1 lemon, as needed, optional

Steps:

  • Put the fish and milk in a medium saucepan. Refrigerate at least an hour.
  • Peel the potatoes and put in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are soft. Drain thoroughly, mash and season well with salt and pepper.
  • In a small skillet, melt butter, add scallions and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the fish from the refrigerator and place over medium-low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and cook the fish until flaky, 5 to 7 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from heat, drain off the milk and allow to cool. Using a fork, break the fish into large flakes.
  • Lightly beat one of the eggs and stir into the cooled potato mixture with the scallions and Worcestershire sauce. Add the flaked fish and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and gently fold into the mixture. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Form patties about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick for entree portions, or 2 inches in diameter for appetizer portions.
  • Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl and put the bread crumbs in another. Dip the patties first in the beaten egg and then the bread crumbs. Heat about 1/8 of an inch of oil in a frying pan, adding more as needed. Fry the patties for just a few minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve warm with lemon, tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For the best results, use a firm-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock, or salmon.
  • Soak the bread in milk: This will help to bind the fish cakes together and make them moist.
  • Don't overmix the fish cakes: Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough.
  • Use a hot skillet: This will help to sear the fish cakes and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve the fish cakes with your favorite sides: Some popular options include tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Norwegian fish cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Norwegian fish cakes every time.
