What to do with leftover fish? Why turn them into fish cakes and fish pies and more...

Too much fish for one night?
Fish Cakes

Fish is one of those foods that just don't keep very well. So you have to use it or lose it in no time at all. If you cook too much fish to eat, what do you do with it?  Make fish cakes, and fish pie, and all kinds of delectable “re-porpoised” dishes, of course.  (Just an expression – no porpoise ever. No, no, no!)  It could not be easier!  So here we go.

Start with broiled or baked or fried fish…whatever.  Flake the leftover fish with a fork, like tuna or crab.  Mix with mayonnaise (one tablespoon for two patties – adjust as required) and a teaspoon to tablespoon of bread crumbs to hold it together.  Add some spices - some dill, a sprinkle of lemon. Sprinkle with Bay Seasoning if you'd like to spice it up a bit. Make patties. There should be enough mayo to hold the fish together in patties as a sticky soft mass. Roll the patties in bread crumbs and saute in a mix of butter and oil until golden brown.  Your mouth will water for the next batch, trust me!  You can use tartar sauce in place of mayonnaise.

Serve over salad greens, on a roll as a sandwich, or with fresh potato salad or french fries if you have them. A glass of nice white wine - like a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - goes very well indeed.

Fish pie

You’ll need leftover fish, smashed potatoes and vegetables for this one.  Also one egg and some butter or olive oil.

Flake the leftover fish and chop the vegetables into small bits.  Whatever you have will work fine.  Broccoli, beans, peas, carrots, onions, tomatoes, squash, corn, etc.  Beat one egg with a little soy or other sauce and spices.  Mix the vegetables and fish with the egg. Pour into a greased pie tin ( Pam or olive oil works great). Sprinkle with a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water if you have it.  You can substitute a teaspoon of flour for the cornstarch, just to thicken any sauce that forms from the juice of the vegetables and fish. Take the leftover smashed potatoes and layer lightly over the top making fluffy mounds.  Dot with butter or olive oil and bake for 30 minutes at 350.  Magnifique.

By the way, this works great with leftover meat as well. Just cut up the meat into bite sized chunks and omit the egg.
