HOMEMADE FISHCAKES - THE PREQUEL

This is a prequel to my post in February on Homemade Fish Cakes.  Here are some shots of my mother making fishcakes from scratch.

The Yellowtail is our choice of fish for making fish cakes

First, fillet the fish


Then remove the flesh from the skin

Mince the meat.  Add salt water a tablespoon at a time as you mince. 
Keep going.  It'll come together in a cohesive mass.

Watch it transform:



Now, pick it up at smack it on the chopping board for about 10 - 15 minutes


Do you see it?  Nice and jiggly

Wet your hands and shape them into fish cakes

You can now fry the fish cakes.

Steph, you're so smart! My mother always buys the biggest Yellowtail she can find.

下半场 | 英雄回归

昨天逛书局时, 竟发现久违的英雄牌钢笔。你是否也用过?反正这就是我中学时期的回忆。赶紧买了一支。当然,墨水是必需的。 人生下的半场 做个简单的人  少于人纠缠 多看大自然  在路上见世界 在途中寻自己  知山高水阔 故云淡风轻  名山海可平 故风雨兼程  以如常为安 以如愿为喜 ...
