In a bowl, combine everything except the vegetable oil.

In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil at medium heat until it bubbles.

Divide the fish cake mixture into 8 equal parts and form into paddies. Place paddies into the frying pan, and don't overcrowd it (you might have to do them in two batches).

Let patties cook until you see a brown crust forming, then turn them; if you turn them too quickly, they will fall apart.

Flip them and allow the cakes to cook evenly.

Once the fish cakes have a nice, even crust, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

Enjoy them with ketchup or tartar sauce, or I like them just plain. They don't taste too fishy, so even my little guy was a fan.

Give this recipe a try; it tastes great and is much cheaper than buying it in stores!
