Method
- Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water until tender, then drain well and mash. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.
- Place the haddock in a frying pan, cover with water and simmer for 8-10 mins until just cooked. Remove from the pan with a fish slice and flake the flesh, discarding any skin and bones. Add fish to the mash with the sweetcorn, herbs and lemon rind. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix well.
- Divide the potato mixture and shape into 8 small fishcakes. Coat each fishcake in seasoned flour, then dip in beaten egg and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Leave fishcakes to chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins.
- Shallow-fry the fishcakes in hot oil for 3-4 mins on each side until golden. Drain well and serve with lemon wedges.
