Naughty Cal Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mix some mashed potato with a spoon of flour, egg, fried onions and chilli. Form into balls and squash flat. Fry over a high heat until browned Seen served here with some lemon and black pepper dusted basa fillets and a selection of vegetables but can be served with a variety of other meals.

Naughty Cal Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 They were a tad on the spicy side, bit too heavy handed with the chilli this time but they were wolfed down non the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Basa fillets? What's a basa fish? Looks YUMMY! MtB Just googled it.... £1 fish, yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Our fish monger introduced us to Basa (or River Cobbler as it is often called) a few years back. We love it as an alternative to more common white fish such as haddock, cod, whiting, etc. We get a big bag of Basa fillets (usually about 10 or so decent fillets) for about £6 so its less than a £1 fish Seen here with a light dusting of lemon and pepper flour. YUMMY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBelle1 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yum what a great meal, great idea with the potato cakes, another tasty alternative is to add some horseraddish sauce to the potato mix instead of chilli it's sooooo good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzard Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Cheap fish fingers as can be had for about 60p for a packet of 10 at supermarkets are made with Alaskan Pollock, so the packet says, I soak em for a bit in a sweet'n'sour mixture before grilling, they're really nice.

MtB Well I've dissected a couple minutely to check, picked and poked em about and I'd say they're constructed of fish all right, the fish fingers that is not the beef burgers which I never buy, it only takes a minute or two to make your own, and much tastier too.

MtB Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Basa fillets? What's a basa fish? Looks YUMMY! MtB make up your mind. The spud recipe looks yummy, not the £1 fsh. I tried the spud idea tonight. FANTASTIC! (I left out the egg and flour though.) But the wind was incredible. It finally forced me to get up. This is why I'm posting at stupid o'clock this morning...
