1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 tbsp oil
1 large pinch of white pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
3 tbsp dry white breadcrumbs, for coating
1 oil, for frying

Directions

Wipe the fish with damp kitchen paper.

4

Mix together the oil, pepper, parsley, egg and water in a large bowl.
5

Add the minced fish and onion and the 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs and mix very thoroughly.

The mixture should be stiff enough to hold its shape; if note, then work a little more water or more breadcrumbs if necessary.

With wet hands, form the mixture into balls, then flatten them a little.
8

Coat the fish cake with breadcrumbs and refrigerate until ready to fry.
9

Heat enough oil to cover the base of a frying pan and when it's sizzling hot, fry the cakes in batches for 5-6 minutes each side until golden and cooked through.
