Sainsbury's 2 No Fish Cakes
What it is
These are pre-prepared, ready-to-cook fish-free cakes. They are designed to mimic the texture and flavor of traditional fish cakes but are made without any fish products. Each package contains two individual cakes, making them convenient for single servings or small meals. They are typically found in the chilled ready-meal or vegetarian section of the supermarket.
How people cook with it
These cakes offer a quick and easy option for a main course or a side dish.
- Serve with chips
- Add to a salad
- Put in a bun
- Serve with peas
To prepare, you can pan-fry these cakes in a little oil over medium heat until they are golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in a preheated oven for a similar result. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They are best enjoyed hot, straight from the pan or oven. The cooking time will vary slightly depending on your chosen method.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional fish cakes made with mashed potato and flaked fish, these cakes use alternative ingredients to achieve a similar culinary experience. The binding agents and flavorings are specifically chosen to replicate the savory taste and soft interior associated with fish cakes, while remaining entirely plant-based.
Who it is for
These are suitable for individuals seeking a vegetarian alternative to fish cakes or those who prefer plant-based meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, keep any unused cakes refrigerated. They should be consumed within the use-by date indicated on the packaging. Store them in their original packaging to maintain freshness. It is not recommended to freeze these cakes after purchase.
