From aromatic spices to succulent meats, South African food offers a unique blend of influences from various cultures.
Among the many delightful dishes, Snoek fish cakes stand out as a delicious and healthy seafood option.
Known for its firm texture and slightly sweet taste, Snoek lends itself perfectly to this traditional recipe.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the flavours are evenly distributed.
Now, its time to bind the mixture together.
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the fish mixture, mixing well after each addition.
The eggs act as a natural binder, helping to hold the fish cakes together.
However, be careful not to add too much egg, as it may make the mixture too wet.
Place the patties on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes.
Chilling the patties will help them hold their shape when cooked.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chilled fish cakes in the pan.
Cook them for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
You may need to cook the fish cakes in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
These low-fat South African Snoek fish cakes are a delightful treat for seafood lovers and health-conscious individuals alike.
