A fishcake (also fish cake) is a food item similar to a croquette, consisting of a filleted fish and potato patty coated in breadcrumbs or batter, and fried. Fishcakes are often served in English fish and chip shops. Commonly fishcakes used cod as a filling; however, as cod stocks have been depleted other varieties of white fish are used, such as haddock or whiting. Fishcakes may also use oily fish such as salmon for a markedly different flavour. Fishcakes have also traditionally been made from salted fish (most commonly cod, haddock or pollock). Fishcakes are also prepared without breadcrumbs or batter, and are made with a mixture of cooked fish, potatoes and occasionally eggs formed into patties and then fried. In many towns and cities in Yorkshire, England, a fishcake served in a Fish and Chip shop will consist of two slices of parboiled potato, with fish in between, then deep fried in batter. Also a variation of the fish cake sold in Fish and Chip Shops in and around Castleford, West Yorkshire, England is the Parsley Cake, which consists of minced fish, mashed potato and fresh Parsley, coated in breadcrumbs and deep fried. The fishcake has been seen as a way of using up leftovers that might otherwise be thrown away. In Mrs Beeton's 19th century publication ''Book of Household Management'', her recipe for fishcakes calls for “leftover fish” and “cold potatoes”. More modern recipes have added to the dish, suggesting ingredients such as smoked salmon and vegetables.
