How to Make Fish Cakes Hamburg Style

Cut the onions and the garlic into smaller pieces.

Peel and then cut the potato in quarters and also the parsley.

Cut the fish so it will fit into the grinder.

In a large bowl, mix the fish with the onion, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley.

Put all into the grinder, using the plate with the smallest holes.

Add the eggs, salt, and pepper to the ground fish and mix it well.

Now add half of the panko bread crumbs and mix. Add more panko bread crumbs as needed until you have a consistency that keeps the shape.

Taste if more salt and pepper is needed.

Let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Shape the fish cakes, then cover them with the regular bread crumbs.

In a large pan, melt half of the butter and fry the fish cakes from both sides until golden brown. Add more butter if needed.

Serve the fish cake warm or cold in a fresh kaiser roll (recipe on the blog) with a salad leaf and some Hamburg style tartar sauce (recipe on the blog). You can also, instead of a roll, have potato salad as a side to the fish cake.
