Fishcakes Method
Begin by draining the tinned mackerel, salmon, and sweetcorn thoroughly.
In a blender add mackerel, salmon and five heaped teaspoons of Thai red curry paste. Blitz until combined, use a little bit of oil (no more than 2 tbsp) to loosen the mixture.
Now add all of this to a mixing bowl and add 5 heaped tbsp plain flour and the whole sweetcorn kernels.
Mix all of this until combined with one teaspoon of salt.
Depending on the water content of your tinned fish you may need to add a bit more flour, we want this to be a thick paste consistency.
Shallow fry one heaped tablespoon of the mixture in plenty of oil until golden brown.
Leave to drain on a piece of kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
