This is a recipe I used to cook a lot in my student days, it is ncredibly cheap and easy to make and can be adapted into thai fishcakes, with a bit of chilli, coriander, ginger and lime or curry fishcakes with the addition of some curry powder or provençal fishcakes with the addition of some oregano and garlic but I like them simple, just as they are!
