Smoked Kahawai Fish Cakes -

Here is a  recipe for smoked Kahawai fish cakes - yeh it is bloody good!

 

I used two Kahawai (so halve if necessary)

 

• 2 Smoked Kahawai
• 6 boiled potatoes
• Handful of finely chopped parsley
• Cracked Pepper
• 2 beaten egg whites
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons mayonaise
• 1 teaspoon horseradish sauce (good quality)
• 1 teaspoon dried kawakawa

 

For smoking rub:
(for smoking mix - split and dry Kahawai - rub with brown sugar and Maldon sea salt - I also like using Manuka)

 

• Remove the meat from the smoked Kahawai (I also remove the dark brown meat - as it is very bitter)
• Gently flake the fish - and crumble in the potato (try to avoid the potato becoming completely mashed!)
• Add the lemon juice, pepper. horseradish and kawakawa, mayonaise and gently mix in.
• Fold in the egg whites.

(ensure the mizture is not too dry!)

 

Flour and fry in oil.

 

Goes very well with a rocket salad - and a feijoa chutney.
