Frozen Fish Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from fish, often a white fish like pollock or cod. They are typically coated in a breading or batter, ready for cooking. The fish is usually processed and then frozen to preserve its freshness. They are a convenient way to enjoy a fish meal without the need for fresh fillets.
How people cook with it
These frozen patties are a versatile ingredient for quick meals. They can be prepared in several ways to suit different tastes and meal plans.
- Quick weeknight dinner
- Sandwich filling

To cook, you can bake them in an oven until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil until crispy. For an even quicker option, they can be prepared in an air fryer. Ensure the patties are thoroughly cooked before serving. They are excellent served on a bun with your favorite toppings or alongside a side dish.
