Learnt this amazing fish cake recipe from my granny who lives in Cape Town. Whenever she visited us in Pretoria, this was a staple on the menu for the week. The smell of these fish cakes would just leave the kitchen with this comforting aroma. It is really comfort food at it's best. The combination of the fish cakes with mash and rice was very new to my husband. But now he really enjoys it. This has now become a staple in my new home. I hope you enjoy it. #mamataughtmewell
