Kent Twice Laid Fishcake Recipe

Kent School dinner recipes

An interestingly named egg savoury snack from Kent. Similar to modern fish cakes, this was once a way of using up leftover fish.

Serves 4

Ingredients

300g white fish

300ml milk

350g mashed potatoes

2 eggs, hard boiled

1 egg for dipping

100g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs

pinch of ground black pepper

Method

1 Poach the fish in milk. When the fish is cooked, using a slotted spoon remove it from the pan (reserve the milk for later). Carefully remove and discard any bones or skin from the white fish fillets.

2 In a bowl flake the fish and mix in the mashed potatoes.

Add a little of the reserved milk to the mixture to help it bind together.

3 Shell the hard boiled eggs and chop. Gently stir into fish mixture.

4 Add pepper to taste and divide the mixture into 8 balls.

5 Dip into the beaten egg, roll in breadcrumbs and oven bake until crisp and golden.
