How to make Fish Chop
The fish chops are breadcrumbed spicy fish balls. Traditionally served as balls, they should look a bit like scotch eggs (but it can be easier to form them into fish cake shapes). Nice for afternoon tea, as a starter, or simply as part of a larger meal.
Ingredients
- 200 g haddock
- 1 potato
- 1/2 onion
- 2.5 cm ginger
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 egg
- breadcrumbs
- lemon juice
Method
- Cook the fish in the microwave with a little lemon juice. Mash the fish.
- Boil the potato and then mash it.
- Heat some oil in a pan and fry the chopped onion and grated ginger until soft.
- Add the mashed fish and fry.
- Next, add the chilli, cumin, turmeric and garam masala. Stir, then add the
- mashed potato, mix well and fry for about 2 minutes.
- Take off the heat and allow to cool.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions.
- Shape into balls (or flat patties as in the picture) and dip first in the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour, then deep fry until golden brown.
- Serve hot or cold with sweet chilli sauce.
