Living far from the coast getting fresh #fish for a good price is a mission. I buy the frozen #hake but it is just not the same thing. So I decided to rather spice it up by making fish cakes!

Take your hake fillets, place them skin side down on a chopping board, take a fork and drag through the fish to shred the meat away from the skin (I chopped the skin and added to my onion to fry for flavour). Mix with onion mixture.
