Dairy and egg free fishcakes: Tuna and sweetcorn

October 9, 2014 by Emma 12 Comments

The breadcrumbs sizzle and spit on the egdes of my dairy free fishcakes, while a spurious few burn to a crisp on the sidelines. As the oil bubbles the pasty coating slowly turns a golden deliciousness.

There is something so comforting about breading and frying your food. That sense of some well-deserved junk food without the junk – a healthy midweek meal hidden under a crispy coating.

Those leftover, discarded ingredients and tins languishing in the cupboard take on a new life. The mashed potato from the night before, a bit of sweetcorn from the freezer and some nice oily tuna suddenly look like a dish you could serve up at a dinner party.

Making egg free fishcakes

As J is egg-free we cannot use the traditional flour, egg and breading method but I read about using a flour and water paste instead. And it works perfectly, gripping the potato mixture and gluing the breadcrumbs in place without leaving any heavy floury after taste.

I have deliberately kept this tuna and sweetcorn dairy and egg free fishcake recipe very simple to rustle up for a family meal but you could easily make it a bit more adult friendly by adding 4 chopped spring onions and 1tsp dijon mustard.

    Yummy yummy! A good old family favourite. You cannot beat a fish cake and like you say, it brings alive a boring old tin of tuna and some left over potatoes!

    These look yummy – we’re gluten free too but that’s easily solved with either GF breadcrumbs or a polenta crumb, Thank you!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. My baby son is dairy and egg allergic, we’ve not long started doing baby-led weaning with him and it’s hard to know what to give him that he can pick up easily.

    I used haddock instead of tuna and added wilted spinach and fried spring onion as they needed using up. I put the spinach and spring onion and sweetcorn in the food processor a bit partly to ‘hide’ the veg from my 3 year old but also thinking it would help the patties stick together..

    I was worried the recipe would be dry without milk or butter in the mash but it was great and really easy to form into patties. Managed to make a great meal out of a very nearly empty cupboard/freezer. The baby ate some, my husband was impressed and my daughter said “Mummy, make this again please” 🙂

    I wasn’t sure about the quantity of water for making the flour paste though. I tried 180 mls as in recipe and it was loads. Should it be 18 ml? I fudged my own version to get the creamy consistent and used a lot less water.

      I’m glad it went down so well and you were able to adapt it! Thanks for letting me know about the amount of water. I will test it again. It’s an old recipe but a really popular one so I have been meaning to come back and take a look at it again.
