    So simple, so good! I doubled the recipe and ended up with 12 decent sized fishcakes.

    Anyone watch Hugh Fernely Whittingstalls Fish fight on Channel 4 last week or seen the Greenpeace tinned tuna league table? http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/tunaleaguetable Make sure you use pole and line caught tuna for this dish rather than that has been caught using large nets which kill dolphins, turtles and sharks as by-catch. pole and line tuna can be found at Sainsbury's, marks & spencer and waitrose but unsure about the others...

    Despite adding a lot of pepper to it, they were quite bland. I cannot say there weren't good, but I probably won't make them again.

    These were lovely - so simple and quick to make. I was quite heavy handed with the tartare sauce and the pepper... delicious.

    These were very yummy! I didn't have any spring onions so fried half a red onion (chopped finely) instead and forgot to dust each fish cake with flour, but they came out fine. I also used 2 heaped tablespoons of tartare sauce which gave them a lot of flavour. Would make them thinner next time so they are crispier.
