spicy coconut fishcakes

Spicy coconut fishcakes, flavoured with Thai red curry paste, garlic, sesame oil and rolled in polenta and desiccated coconut before frying for a crunchy coating

The recipe works well with any white fish, but you could also try adding a few prawns or crab meat to the mix (making sure to keep the total weight of fish the same). 

A quick and simple fishcake recipe, using relatively inexpensive ingredients, and so much better than shop bought. 

Delicious served with a soy and ginger dipping sauce or my home made persimmon & chilli jam. 

makes about 15 fishcakes 
preparation time: 10 minutes
cooking time: 10-15 minutes 

ingredients: 
500g skinned/boned white fish fillets (I used pollock, but any white fish would work, e.g. coley, whiting) 
1 egg
50g carrot
50g onion
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
1 tsp sesame oil 
2 tbsp cornflour
salt and pepper

vegetable oil for frying

for the coating:
3 tbsp dessicated coconut
3 tbsp polenta

garnish: 
chopped fresh red chilli 
desiccated coconut

method: 

add all the fish cake ingredients to a food processor (apart from the frying oil) and whizz up for a few minutes until well combined. 

shape into croquette/quenelle shapes using a tablespoon and gently roll in the polenta and dessicated coconut

heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan - it should be about 1cm deep. Fry until crisp, golden and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary as you don't want to overcrowd the pan.

drain on kitchen paper for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with some desiccated coconut and chopped red chilli. 

I like to serve these with my persimmon and chilli jam or a simple soy and ginger dipping sauce.
