What You Need to Make Tuna Fishcakes
As well as the tuna you will need potatoes, corn and peas, cheese, breadcrumbs and egg. If the mixture doesn’t seem to be holding together you can chill the tuna fishcakes in the fridge for half an hour. Another idea is to mix in a little flour or some dry breadcrumbs until the consistency is right. Also ensure the tuna is really well drained.
You will find these tuna fishcakes really easy to make. Feel free to switch the corn and peas for other vegetables if you prefer. Or add why not add some dried parsley or oregano to the mixture for an additional flavour layer? Something else you can do is use salmon instead of tuna or even a tin of each. You can also make this recipe with leftover cooked fish fillets which need to be used up.
