How Do You Keep Fish Cakes From Falling Apart?
To keep fish cakes from falling apart, make sure to drain any excess moisture from the fish and breadcrumbs before mixing all the ingredients together. Adding an egg to the mixture will also help to bind the ingredients together. Once the fish cakes are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before frying or baking. Be sure to handle the fish cakes gently when flipping or turning them during cooking.
