If you saw my Toddler Lunch post today you might have known a Flounder Cake recipe was in the works! Most people think of Crab or Salmon cakes when it comes to a dish like this, but the truth is you can use any type of fish that you like. My husband always buys Flounder but the fish in these is the interchangeable part. This recipe would go with just about any type of fish so you can use what you have on hand.
I have to admit that making these, or any type of fish based cake, is a process that looks “ugly” until the end when they are cooked. There is something about grinding up fish that is slightly disturbing but having worked in restaurants for years I am used to it. If you are making these and start thinking I’m completely crazy for suggesting this, just wait until they are cooked! I promise they are delicious! This recipe does use my Whole Grain Breadcrumbs, and if you check out that post you will see why I never use store bought breadcrumbs (I’ll give you a hint they contain 59 ingredients!). I serve these cakes a number of ways but they go great on a bed of spinach or with some brown rice and veggies.
